What causes leg ache after a herniated disc surgery?
Patient: i had back surgery for a herniated disc and 2 compressed nerves about 2 months ago and i started having leg pain 2 days ago. It is from the right knee down on the back of my leg about 4-6 inches. It is only when i lay down and try to move or pick my leg up. Doctor: Hi,  It is due to nerves impingement caused by herniated disc. You can consult an orthopaedician and get an MRI scan done.  Hope I have answered your query.  Let me know if I can assist you further.
