    Usually lots of pain post op, should be easing by now, go see your doc.

    By Mayo Clinic staff
    Most people report measurable improvement in their symptoms after laminectomy, but the benefit may lessen over time as the spine continues to age or if there is a recurrence of arthritis. Laminectomy is more likely to improve leg pain caused by a compressed nerve than back pain. Because laminectomy doesn't stop the process that caused the nerve compression in the first place, symptoms may come back over time.
