Hello,
I have Discogel done 1 month ago (spine; L4-L5). For 2 days after the surgery I did not feel any pain at all. But later on the sciatica pain came back and it is the same as before, sometimes it is even much stronger leg pain than before Discogel. I am aware that there can be “a recovery burning pain” in the back – I had it a few times, but sciatica pain is the same, or worse.
I am worried if it means Discogel did not help me and I will have to go under another surgery? I cannot find anyone after Discogel who suffered sciatica like me.
