Sciatica Pain 1 Year After Microdiscectomy

Sciatica is a condition where the sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back down to the legs, is compressed or irritated, leading to pain, numbness, or weakness. Microdiscectomy, a minimally invasive surgical procedure, is often performed to relieve sciatic pain caused by a herniated disc. However, in some cases, patients may continue to experience sciatica pain even 1 year after the surgery.
