Hi Iam a 49 years old . I been having severe lower back pain going down my leg for about 2 years now. I had a MRI done 1 year ago.it reveal that I have  L3 disc  herniation. Recently I visited a neurosurgeon and subjected to have a l2 and  l3 laminectomy with a discectomy procedure . I have try pain management which mad it worst. My question is should I consult another doctor for a second opinion. Since I am currently in pain med ad nothing works.
Hi, it will take a time of some months for it to be comfortable, I advise you to consult an orthopedic surgeon for diagnosis and treatment, you also need some physiotherapy sittings for complete relief.  I to my patient with such symptoms prescribe neurotrophic injections for 10 consecutive days, and to be repeated periodically, along with the medications by your doctor. Thank you.
