So I originally posted this on the patient forum but got no replies....
Hello so back in April 2015 I had a microdiscectomy on L5 S1....I think it was that one haha! Any how the disc above it was ever so slightly bulging but my surgeon said the chance of it bulging further was roughly 5% so he wasn't worried. Any how I am now 22 weeks pregnant and all of a sudden today I am in excruciating pain....the exact pain if not worse that I experienced before my operation...I knew I would have problems with pregnancy...but I'm not even really showing yet so wouldn't have thought it was baby and I just didn't expect the pain to be this bad all of a sudden...is it likely that my disc has bulged??? I will mention this to my GP but not sure they can do much whilst pregnant??
