L5-S1

Herniated disks compressed nerves (Sciatica)

Back in September 2017, I underwent

Laminectomy and transfemoral decompression. Ever since have had two epidural injection and have made my symptoms worse. By 2:00 pm I am in agonizing pain. Pain both of my butt down my leg that at times unbearable to walk. Next month I am having posterior decompression surgery for  for extraforaminal decompression of L5-L4, L4-L3 and L3-S1 followed by facet fusion unninstrumented.

Have anyone have had this done? And what is the recovery time.

Thank you

Ana
