@dixiekidd76 Hello Dixie, I had Lumbar Fusion surgery about 4 months ago. My nerve/leg pain started about 2 weeks after the surgery. You didn't mention if you have tried anything besides the Hydrocodone for the pain. I was prescribed Lyrica, 75mg, 3-times per day, and within 2 days there was a big difference in the pain level, and after a week, the pain was gone and I was sleeping really well.
