I had a diskectomy approx. 9 months ago on the L5-S1. I had severe right leg pani on my right side with very little back pain. Other than being in severe pain followin the sugery, along with a severe Strep inection I'm was doing great. Back in Feb. 09, I had afall. Now my back is hurtin pretty good with no leg pain. My question is how long is the results of the surgery? I should mention that this is my 3rd back surgery in 8 years. The last ones where higher up disc?
