No. I think you need to resolve the INFLAMMATION at the surgical level. I am amazed that there was nothing which indicates its been resolved. Maybe when that is resolved you get some relief. You have to work on one thing at a time. You should be seeing your surgeon every 3 months until this is resolved. Waiting 8 weeks isn't bad - I waited 18 years. That was too long because my nerves died from being squished. So the numbness never went away. However, it can take 10 years for nerves to regrow! but at 5 months you should be feeling pretty good. One year mark its in the rear view mirror. You need to return to your surgeon. You are lucky 5-7 days things were good - 5-7 days I wanted. to die! haha. If you can find a myofascial tissue release therapist (you have to pay) do that for your SIJ. Get an RFA/RFI on your facet joints which were not operated on and get a pain management doctor and surgeon who will confer. I had 3 surgeons over the 18 years - the 4 was the one I did the surgery with. I will be going back for more but I knew that when I signed up. My tailbone always caused me pain. I just take opioids for that. I have no addiction issues after 25 years. It helps me exercise and get thru the bad weather arthritis. Yeah - the surgical inflammation can be causing all this! I don't think a chiropractor is worth it. Try acupuncture for some pain relief.
