I'm having L5S1 forminotomy this coming Thursday. Did you have new pain after the surgery that you did not have before the surgery?

What pain did you have before the surgery that the forminotomy was suppose to fix?

I had the procedure on my L5S1 last November. It seemed to do better until I started more activity. Pain has moved more to side of hip and top/lower thigh. Not happy with results. BUT surgeon says it takes up to 12 mths to heal my nerves since injury has been there for 50 years. Try to be patient buddy!
