Chronic Back Pain From Failed Back Surgery

Unfortunately alot of people have had failedback surgery or surgery on their back for other pain in their body. i.e. sciatic..etc.  However after they've had their back surgery they  end up feeling worse than prior to the procedure.  It is not rare to see spinal fusions, disc replacement, or laminectomy surgery cause new types of pain, possibly in addition to the original back pain complaint the patient had.

I am a victim of failed back surgery.  I had minimum to no back pain going into surgery for sciatica, herniated discs, degenerative disc disease and spinal stenosis.  My back pain for the past 2 years now post surgery on a scale of 1-10 is a 10+.  My quality of life has diminished significantly and there isn't anything I can do about it. 

I have tried spinal injections to relieve the pain but got minimal to no relief.  I have also tried pain relief exercises, pain management clinics and yoga.  None of those were helpful either. 

Each case is different so my advice is to get a second and third opinion before considering surgery.
