Nerve Pain In Foot after Laminectomy

Posted by dakota24 @dakota24, Mar 18 1:41pm

I had L4/5 Laminectomy on 11/1/2024. Since the day after surgery I had terrible pain in my right foot. I did not have this pain prior to surgery. Every day I have a tingling/numbing feeling in my right foot, and at times burning sensations and also sharp nerve pains. This has prevented me from even putting on a regular shoe due to it hurting. I'm told nerves needed to find new pathways, this might get better. I cannot believe the only pathway here was to my right foot. I also still have bad lower back pain like I had before surgery. Anyone else have this? At what point will they consider injections or something other than gabapentin (which doesn't work) for this problem. It is ruining my life.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Spine Health Support Group.

@dakota24 See my message below (I forgot to add your handle in my original message). I had the exact same experience as you 4 years ago (except in both feet) and can provide a lot of helpful information if you are interested.
