A member asked:
I'm having pain in my lower left side mainly when i lay down. had back surgery 4yrs ago l4,l5,s1, could this cause my pain? can a bad mattress causeit

Yes, need evaluation: A bad mattress, muscle spasm and adjacent level disease are just a few of the possibilities so you should be thoroughly evaluated. I recommend you see your spine surgeon again and updated imaging and more PT may be the next step. Keep us updated.
