Trouble w/scar tissue forming post lumbar fusion or SCS laminectomy?

Scar tissue around the L5 nerve root. The scar tissue presses on the nerve, causing pain. It can't be surgically removed because it just grows back.

Ohh, I see. Thank you for explaining. I’ve had a long fusion, T4-L3, I think? (I was a child when it was done.) I do have chronic pain, including nerve pain, but that’s not something any of the neurosurgeons or orthopedic surgeons or PTs brought up with me as a potential cause of my pain.
Hopefully other members will be able to chime in.
