I found this out 07-19-12 i have been reffered to chronic pain management from the exam surgery would not improve my problem it would get worse than get better.
Hi, If I were your treating Doctor for this case of pain after L4-L5 fusion, I would ask for imaging study of your lumbar spine because you may have developed fiscal hernia at the upper level of fusion (L2/L3), or the level below it (L5/S1) witChatDoctorpressive elements. You should have a CT scan or MR (if the hardware is compatible) scan of your lumbar column. The decision how to treat your problems should become clear after this. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
