Sciatica pain

2017-11-18 00:11:04
I had a percutaneous discectomy 6 weeks ago. Prior to my surgery I wasn't able to walk or move from the pain. Now I can move but not able to stand up straight yet but more mobile. I still have extreme pain running down my leg... How long does this pain last? I heard the nerve takes time to heal? I've been I'm pain since June and has the surgery in October.
