After l/4,l/5 laminectomy foot pain 1year later ,foot doc say normal,neurologists say s/1 causing, ortho surgeon say mri good, neurosurgeon say what?

Nerve pain: Foot pain post L4/L5 laminectomy can occur if there is an additional impingement from S1 nerve root. Have your neurologist do a NCV test to identify if S1 is the cause. Neuropathic pain can come from these nerve roots and it is best to narrow its location. What part of the foot hurts? Is it located on the side of the foot? It can be a peroneal nerve problem too.
