Im in exact same spot except my first fusion was 2018. Second fusion, 2 discectomies. Failed back syndrome, radiculopathy, nerve root disorder and dextroscoliosis (was just told this from last ct). L1 rupture with scar tissue, L3-4, L4-5 and L5-S1 broadbase ruptures and moderate stenosis L1-2. Did guided epidural L5-S-1 last week hasn t worked yet. Get up in am cannot stand, knees buckle from pain. Learned to put all my weight on one leg first and let back “wake up”
Then inch my way transferring all weight to other leg. Surgeons seem to think if they did good structural surgeries problem solved., told me need pt and pain mgmt. I take gabapentin, muscle relaxers tylenol. All i can do is sit now or lay on side. They are wanting ablation or pain stim. Im terrified neither will work. What then😭😭😭 Houston texas surgeons.
