Fail back surgery – pain after back surgery
In some patient after spine surgery pain becomes more severe than before surgery, and this is called fail back surgery syndrome. Body has normal mechanism of healing any injury by fibrosis and scarring. When patient undergo spine surgery, after surgery body tries to heal surgery cut area by fibrosis. This fibrosis will cause more compression of nerve roots. And this will cause more severe pain. Sometimes wrong diagnosis is also cause of fail back surgery. Even normal person without back pain can have slipped disc in MRI. At Gunjan pain clinic our motto is right diagnosis and right treatment.
Treatment option in case of fail back surgery syndrome is epidural adhesionolysis, spinal cord stimulator.
