Sciatica and pain Dam Back .. Help

Three weeks ago I had surgery on my neck for Degenerative Disk Diesease. Spacers were installed and C4 through 7 were fused. Now the same symptoms I felt 9 months ago when this all started are manifesting in my left leg and hip. Numbness, tingling shooting pain etc. Neurosurgeon said I'd probably be back in a few months to see him again....more MRI's and consults ahead. Good luck to all of you with back problems, it sucks but surgery is/was (for me anyway) the only way to fix it.
