What causes worsening burning pain after an MRI scan long after a back surgery?
Patient: dr wagner is treating me! he did surgery on my back 2014 but I was in recently to see him ! he did an mri ! my symptoms have become worse and some other unusual things are occurring ! I am concerned because I don t see him til march 30th !~ pain and burning have increased and spread! problem because I am taking ibiprophen but found out that it may not be good for me taking that either ! any advice for me til I see him again! very worried! another doctor had to do other surgery to remove csyt too at same time and now I had a recent occurrence and Ive already been through menopause as far as I know! Doctor: Hi., I understand you question and I will help yoy If I were your treating doctor I will ask for new MRI as It will demonstrate the cause of recurrence of pain (failed back surgery or not) I advise you to receive muscle relaxant , Indeomethacin and to wear a lumbosacral belt
