Spinal pain : The bruising and worsening back pain should be evaluated by the surgeon. There are rare times when lumbar spine fusion has problems. It sounds like a complicated low back problem, jaw pain, and neck pain. These conditions can also be evaluated by doctors of physical medicine. Chiropractors are also able to help but don't provide medications. Other options are doctors that specialize in pain.
