I have had scoliosis surgery and 2/ lumbar discectomy. Since Monday I ve had low back,pain on left side pain does not go down buttocks but has gone down inside and back of leg into my knee. It hurts to sit walk,stand or bend. Today I Had a little relief until this afternoon it all came back along with pain shooting up my back and now I m running a fever.
Dear patient Pain post scoliosis surgery with fever my first diagnosis would be infection of implants. Other possibilities may be nerve compression in the spinal canal or misalignment that persisted after surgery. You need immediate visit to your operating surgeon. Detailed blood investigation like ESR and CRP level in blood and local ultrasound will be required to confirm infection. Meanwhile for pin relief take tab ibuprofen 400 mg twice a day. All the best
