Duration and symptom: Better see a specialist. I had back surgery in 2011, and the duration of the pain, the location of the pain, if the pain radiates down your leg/legs, etc. I would recommend a orthopedic specialist or neurosurgeon to evaluate, possibly they will have an MRI taken and then determine if rest, physical therapy, injections or surgery are the best options. Don't delay because it can get much worse!
