Dear Dr. Corenman,
thank you, I truly appreciate your answer. Obviously, I need to do a fresh MRI with gadolinum to discover what’s truly happening. In the meantime, I hope you don’t mind me asking another question.
I do daily stretches, one of them being lifting legs straight while lying down. Before surgery, I couldn’t do this without there being a sharp, stabbing pain in my back, when lifting either leg, especially on the right side. Now I can do it pain-free. All I feel is the tightness in my hamstrings, no stabbing pain like before. Is this “straight leg test”of any relevance for determining whether it’s a reherniation or not? I am aware it might not be a positive test, but I was just wondering whether it meant anything.
Thank you for your answers and your advice,
Ana
