Melissa, I've handled over a thousand cases and this is the first time I've heard of such a serious complication following a microdiscectomy. I saw my pain management doc on Friday... he's an older fellow with a TON of experience... He's never heard of this either. It's not much consolation for your brother and his family. One good note that I took from the doctor's email that I saw was that improvement is possible for a couple of years. I'm still confused about the cause... They did the right thing by going back in so quickly, but I wonder if they are being honest about what they found???
Good luck, Mark
