A member asked:

Burning pain from tailbone to toes after back sugery two yes ago. not stop. doc doesn't believe me all test shows negative left from surgery..why?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Recommendation: Typically, post-op low back pain radiating into the legs would signify scarring and arachnoiditis as an explanation, and although uncommon, unfortunately does occur. Would suggest seeking out a pain management specialized physician to explore your options. A few simple therapeutic interventions may be successful.
