A member asked:
Got spine surgery done & got a post op infection.had leg head neck pain debridement done, still has leg pain, reduced hearing no more neck/head pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Leg pain post-op: A spine surgery causes scar tissue within the spinal canal. Especially if there is an infection, this scar tissue can be more proliferative. It then encases nerve roots, which get tethered by this scar tissue and causes pain along the nerve root. In some cases the scar can even compress the nerve root not unlike the original cause- a herniated disc! a spinal cord stimulator is best for long term.
