Thank you so much for your reply as always. It is a big help. I saw my surgeon today and we are going to do another surgery – microdiscectomy, laminectomy, and foraminectomy to decompress the nerve in 2 weeks. He also mentioned he would try to clean up the scar tissue around S1.
The only thing I am worried about is removing so much bone matter. I’m 26 years old, is there real risk to my health/spine stability etc after doing those 3 procedures at l5s1?
