surgery for disc is nothing but removing of herniated disc which was causing Radiating pain, it doesn't solve your back pain
For back pain you have to strengthening your back by continuing back exercises,physiotherapy, if back muscles are not strengthened you may get back pain,or another disc prolapse ,or failed back, consult orthopedic surgeon they will suggest

Hi, back pain persisting after discectomy can be due to degenerated facets or intervertebral joints, lack of time in your back muscles or instability between vertebrae. I would suggest that you consult a spine surgeon who will take special X rays to see if you have instability and require spinal fusion
