Hi Treylos and welcome to the forum,

I'd offer my congratulations on your 2 month old surgery but you're not happy. You're still in too much pain. The question is- is your pain different? Did you have radiating pain anywhere other than your back and has that changed? How many and which levels were done?

My back pain included muscles pulling very tight, in constant spasm... After my surgery, I wore a brace for several months which allowed them to rest and heal. Are you still wearing a brace?

Asking all those questions, the answer to your question is yes, many, many ADR and fusion patients need pain management following this very invasive surgery. True, some do quite well very quickly and some do quite well after about 2 years but most fall inbetween that. What does your doctor tell you?

Please give us more details and as I've said before, if we could harness the energy of worrying and panic, we could light the world. Hopefully, all your conern is premature as 2 months is still pretty early.

Dale
