A member asked:
Previously had ces following trauma 9 years ago at l5. now have another problem at l4. is it possible for ces to occur twice in one patient?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, it can: It is possible to get disc re-herniation at the same level since there is usually some amount of disc still present at the area of surgery. Disc herniation can also occur at a level above or below. If you have just pain radiating down the leg, you should try : gabapentin, epidural steroid injection, and physical therapy. If you have weakness, or bladder/bowel symptom, go to the ER for CES!
