Hello,
I was wondering what kind of damage is done to the nerve root being compressed from L4-L5 disc buldge after 4 years before fusion. Emg in the beginning showed no response do to herniation, 4 yrs later have fusion, developed groin pain after fusion. Had leg knumbness and pain before fusion with buttock pain and tailbone pain. Had EMG test recently and same nerve root has no response. Does that mean the nerve root is permanently damaged due to not having the herniated disc repaired until 4 yrs later? What can be done or is it just the way it is. Thank you
