Why I have leg pain after herniated discs surgery? Health Consultation Description: I had back surgery in 1996 for a herniated disk at the L5-S1 position. Two years later, I had a severe episode of pain in my right calf and the right side of my right foot. The same severe symptoms returned a year later, and they have returned a third time this year. I have been in considerable discomfort for the last 3 months, and I have "twitching" of the muscles on my right calf when I am at rest. I have been told that my condition is caused by scar tissue at the site of surgery compressing the nerve. My question is, how sure can we be that the problem is really scar tissue? Because of the long period after surgery before I had severe symptoms, and because I overcame severe problems twice in the past, I don't understand how the problem could be scar tissue. Should my physicians be looking for something else? This year, I have seen an MRI specialist, a neurologist, and a neurosurgeon. Should I be seeing another type of health professional?

I have the visual disturbances ( bright zig zag lines), numbness in my face and hands, and confusion. It is really bad. I have dealt with this for so long, and never had a concrete treatment that worked. I was put on Inderal for years, in which it did help where i only had about one every 6-8 months. Then my doctor just yanked me off of them and i was left with nothing. As time has went on, they have gotten worse to the point i have almost had them every day this week. My new doctor put me on metroprolol 25mg ER..and this is day 2. I did have one this morning. Could it be that these have not gotten into my system yet..enough to help prevent..? This is really depressing me badly.

Is neck stiffness connected with cervical spondylosis? Health Consultation Description: I am a 31 year old female and yet to conceive. Since 9 months I have been facing heaviness of head and stiffness of neck. Sometimes the heaviness of head becomes extreme and I feel it is spinning even at the slightest movement of neck and it is accompanied with bowel movements. I feel that I may faint and the feeling subsides only after passing normal stool. Since 9 months these incidents used to happen on a daily basis especially during the office hours but now it is happening at the rate of one to two times per week. I did MRI brain, cervical spine and ECG of heart. Everything turned out to be normal except detection of mild scoliosis of neck. In the morning when I wake up I do not feel so bad but as the day progresses my stiffness of neck and heavy headedness increases. Orthopedist told me that I am having cervical vertigo, neurologist told me that I am having posture problems, GP told me that I am suffering from phobic disorder (assured). Now I have a few questions. Am I suffering from any gastrointestinal disorder? (sometimes lower abdomen pains but there is no loss of appetite).

Am I suffering from any cervical spondylosis?
