What causes back pain after undergoing fusion of L5-S1?
Patient: 2 years and 3 months ago I had back surgery. fusion of my LS S1. 4 screws and 2 rods. I m still in so much pain. any thoughts? I ve done injections, burned nerve endings, physical therapy, acupuncture...... I quit taking pain meds bc its no way to live long term. im only 37. Doctor: I think you need to contact the surgeon who operated you and get MRI spine done to see for any dislocation or compression.
