Hi. I had back surgery in Jan. The surgery was a double laminectomy and microdiscectomy. In the past 4 weeks, I have started to have severe pain in my right buttock that goes down to my right knee. My right foot loses feeling and also tingles and feels like there are pins and needles all of the foot. By the end of the day I can barely walk. Does anyone have any ideas as to what it could be?
 
Can you think of something you did to trigger this happening- lifting-etc, is it constant? was it gradual on coming or quick? It could be a nuraber of things, from possible scar tissue (if gradual) to pulling a muscle or reherniating or straining something, if it's continuous, and stopping you from doing things, or severe, I'd call your dr back up and schedule an appt, they will prob redo a mri on you to see whats what back there, or maybe based on your symptoms, maybe you have some what they call pinformis syndrome ( I think it's called syndrome) its from the pinformis muscle, going on there with a muscle contracting hitting a nerve, that is a possibility too.
