Most to least common: Reasons usually are pelvic imbalance and core weakening, psoas muscle spasm, scar tissue formation around the cord and nerve roots causing pain syndrome commonly seen in patients after back surgery called post laminectomy syndrome.

Back pain: Need to check with your doctor that you did not have any other complications such as an infection or nerve damage from the needle.
