I had disk surgery on L-5, L-4 level ,March 23 1998 at Mt Sinai in Miami Beach.Pre surgery symptoms were severe pain in my right leg, hip, and foot, spreading to my buttocks. I could not stand or walk for more than 15 minutes at a time. After the surgery I was told to stand up and walk the same day, 12 hrs after surgery. 6 months later I am in worse pain. Having seen 2 other Drs. one an orthopedic surgeon,who told me i needed a "cage implanted within my spine, separating the disks" the other a neurologist who takes a more conservative approach. He is currently giving me more tests, a mylogram,a MRI of my brain,2 different EMG's and a SSC. However as yet he doesnt recommend more surgery, prognosis unknown at this time.
