Is surgery for slip disc always successful?

Tweet

I fell from stairs last December 2005 but I just ignored it until I started feeling pain on my right leg and on my lower back.I went to a doctor and she told me it might be just a muscle pain.She prescribed medicines that i took for a week.The pain was gone so i went back to normal.But after a couple of weeks i can feel the pain again and i ignored it again until i can hardly walk.i went to a new doctor and then he told me i might have a slip disc.He advised me to have an MRI so we can be sure that i have slip disc.The result is positive.I have a slip disc.I underwent physical therapy for 3 weeks but it doesnt help me it even worsen the case.We tried complete bed rest too but still no changes.So the doctor told me I need to undergo surgery.And then it happened,I had the surgery last November 20 2006.I was in the hospitl for a week.Th doctor told me I might feel pain for 3 days but it will be gone.But unfortunately my leg is still sore.I am afraid I might undergo surgery again because the 1st one was not successfull.Do you guys heard `bout case like mine?please let me know.Thank you!
