Back pain: Persistent or recurrent pain after back surgery can be managed several ways. Physical therapy and cortisone shots may be the first step. Repeat MRI studies may show new structural problems as cause of the pain. there may be previously unrecognized pain generator such as the sacroiliac joints. A trial of spinal cord stimulation is also a reasonable option. Discuss with a spine specialist.
