Hi Jude
Sorry you have not yet had the help we all crave.
On a better note, I am managing quite well with my back now. (Microdiscectomy in February.) I still have pain in the sciatic nerve in my right leg, still can't turn over in bed easily, but ca…
Hi Heather
I really sympathise with you about all the pains.
I had a microdiscectomy in February for a prolapsed L5/S1 disc and the one above that is also bulging and all the discs are dehydrated. Part of my disc had broken off and the hard shell h…
Hi Liz
nice to hear from you. I must admit to not looking on this site regularly enough at the moment. Being at work is taking all my sitting strength and in the evenings I can't cope with too much sitting. It is not the back that hurts, but the ner…

Hi everyone
I have been back at work now for six weeks (on a phased return, but now back full time). Unfortunately, I sit at a computer all day long, and although I try to get up and walk around as much as possible, I end each day in a lot of pain d…
Hi everyone.
I saw my surgeon today and he says the pain in my back (now three months after the microdiscectomy) may now be arthritis. He said it is very early days at the moment and I should expect ot be on painkillers continuously for at least an…

Still in pain
Hi everyone
I have been back at work now for six weeks (on a phased return, but now back full time). Unfortunately, I sit at a computer all day long, and although I try to get up and walk around as much as possible, I end each day in a lot of pain down the back of my leg - along the nerve. I am in pain most of the day and very uncomfortable all evening - unable to settle. I am at my wits' end.
I opted in the end for the microdiscectomy to ease the pain, and although the pain is nothing like it… Continue

Pain after microdiscectomy
Hi
I am new to this site.
I had quite bad backache for three weeks in November 2008 which I managed with Neurofen - two when I reached work, two at lunchtime and then a reasonable afternoon. On 21.11.08 I was getting dressed for work when the pain shot down my leg and how I got to work I will never know. I was on a course and spent the day on painkillers, sitting on my left side and trying not to let my right side touch the chair.
The next day I went to the hospital - my husband took me, but b… Continue
