I will let someone more knowledgeable reply.

But I wouldn't guess that it is the nerves from the rhizotomy growing back already (unless you have super fast growing nerves). It usually takes 9-12 months for nerves to grow back, and sometimes even up to 18 months. **This is only based on reading I have done. I am not a medical expert.

Sorry you are having some new pain Phylly. I hope it isn't your back. But, I'm sure you know that 2 months is still early in recovery, especially from fusion. And you are bound to have odd aches and pains. I suggest calling your doctor though, and see what they have to say. I hope you feel better soon.
