After strugglling for approx. a year with severe pain down my left leg, and trying all kinRAB of alternative treatments, I finally gave in to a Disectomy.My neurourgeon was very clear that my back was very bad and that I probably needed a fusion, but was willing to try this first. The surgery was a piece of cake.Very little pain afterwarRAB, and for the first 2 1/2 weeks I felt great and began increasing my daily activities. Now into my 4th week, I am experiencing pain in a different area of my left leg. It is very difficult for me to walk in the am, and takes about 1 1/2 hours in the morning for me to get enough relief to get going. It does ease up during the course of the day. I am so hoping that this is not an unusal occurance, and that maybe this is the course that the healing process takes. Any thoughts. Edna
 
I personally have neer had a disectomy but I have had a laminectomies, fusions, and hardware removals.

This surgery from what has been posted takes at least 6 to 12 weeks to recover from. You might try doing an Advanced Search on disectomy and I am sure alot of information will pop up.

Good luck and I pray that you find some relief soon.
