Spinal fusion L3 into sacrum w/L3 herniated disc now. Had similar?

I don’t think it did fuse. I think the motion occurred because the screws were migrating for the last 7 years. You can see the halo around the L3 screws in the Xray. The herniation at L3-4 (according to the MRI last week) must be whatever tissue was left? I don’t understand it either but the nerve pain is following L3-4. Thanks so much for your input. I appreciate it. Patty

https://spinecenteratlanta.com/unlocking-solutions-minimally-invasive-options-for-pedicle-screw-revision-after-failed-back-surgery/ This spine center offer a free MRI review. You could call the office where you had your MRI. Is it recent? Ask for several CDs of the MRI and send them all out at the same time. You probably prefer to go somewhere local, but you'll get several opinions without leaving home.
It takes less tension to retrieve screws with lucency.
