I am 5+ months post op from lumbar fusion surgery involving L1 to S1. I am still struggling with muscle spasms and nerve pain in my feet. The problem was adult scoliosis and the surgery lasted for 11+ hrs. due to complications with arthritis. The original back pain is gone. Should I expect the muscle spasms and nerve pain to eventually clear up?
Proper exercise and use of muscle relaxant can help with the spasms.The modality of treatment would majory consist of physiotherapy with healthy posturing habits.regards
