Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I had 2 surgeries this summer, a diskectomy and a laminectomy with foramenotomy, both due to a herniated disk that was causing intolerable pain and difficulty in walking. Now that disk has herniated again with dorsal displacement of the S1 nerve root. Do you think I should have a diskectomy again or a fusion, or neither?
