13 lower back surgeries. past 5 mth. have ces symptoms, getting worse. had ct no dye, looked o.k. need help before i can't walk. would mri be better.

MRI is better: Mri with contrast is far better to evaluate for both post operative changes, potential infection, recurrent disc herniation, or clumping of nerve roots (arachnoiditis).
