Re-evaluation: Unfortunately, neck and back pain are common and debilitating problems as we age. You have already had one surgery and another may need to follow. However, I would see a Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation physician or a Sports Medicine doctor. These practitioners are skilled at non-surgical management options for your condition.
