I had a similar experience as you. The surgery went so fast that Ritter Lang cut the major iliac vein resulting in major blood loss and multiple DVT's. In addtition I continued to have leg pain. I ended up having many more micro type posterior decompressions and now my leg pain is mostly gone (I recently had my piriformis muscle removed that was also causing some sciatica). Why can't you get some micro surgery to decompress the nerves and open the foramen posteriorly?
