Default L4-l5 prodisc l surgery

I had a laminectomy in 01 and it worked great, didn't need any pain meds but maybe ibuprofen every now and then. On August 28th 2010 I was sitting on the floor and couldn't get up. I was basically in bed for three weeks, two hospital visits.I went to Voc rehab they paid for MRI and Dr. Wingo said ruptured disc and compressed nerve. I had the worst pain down right leg and sensation gone in leg.I finally had surgerymarch third and pains gone in right leg but now left side hurts. I can't stand in kitchen to cook or anything I know it's just been a little over two weeks but don't understand why I have pain on ledft side now. I have appt with Dr the 4th of April. I have called nurse she says it's normal. How is it normal to be hitting same way after surgery just different side.
