People can have sacral cysts that are completely asymptomatic. Then, a trauma like an accident or a surgery, can change things enough so they become highly symptomatic.

I was going to ask about discograms, but since you said no back pain before the surgery, discograms would not have been indicated.

Hopefully, it is something that will fade on it's own, or that can be diagnosed and fixed. The possiblity that collateral damage from the surgery just f'ed things is scary. However, don't give up. But, before you do something else, you (and your docs) must be more certain about the diagnosis and rule out other possibilities. Don't do anything based on wishful thinking or the doctor that just tells you what you want to hear.

PS... you understand that I'm not a doctor and simply share my experience and opinions. Don't believe what you read on the internet (expecially from me!) If it's on the internet, it must be true!
