Trouble w/scar tissue forming post lumbar fusion or SCS laminectomy?
Spine Health | Last Active: 15 hours ago | Replies (15)Comment receiving replies
I have had 3 spinal fusion surgeries. My 1 st was in 2022 through the back did not fuse, 2nd in 2024 different doctor through the front fusing, 3rd April 2025 removal of hardware and added more bone. My current Dr thinks maybe pain is coming from the back entry scar tissue. I have daily low back pain that radiates to right leg numbness and tingling. Limping and can't use right leg to go upstairs. I do lose my balance often.

Wow, you’ve sure been through a lot in a very short time.
First, I want to say that your last surgery wasn’t that long ago, and as you’re aware with your back surgeries, it’s going to take some time for everything to heal and calm down and get back to normal, especially with the lumbar region. I am healing from a T11 to L4 surgery nine months ago.
Something that I have learned more about and one of the Mayo Clinic Mentors @jenniferhunter is very passionate about, is myofacial release. Here is the link to a post she did several years ago. It’s very comprehensive and it may or may not apply to your situation but I just wanted you to have it in case it might help you.
