Hi! Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. This could be due to the pressure on the nerves emerging from spinal canal at that point post spinal surgery or due to some intro abdominal pathology. If I were your doctor, I would try to manage the pain with an anti-spasmodic Chat Doctor. Following this, I would go for an ultrasound of abdomen, and a CT of the spine if need be. Further management would depend on the physical examination and related investigation reports. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.
