Wow. That would be very discouraging indeed! I wonder if you have a new disc issue or a fragment of broken away bone. I am sure they will be ordering a new MRI/CT scan, etc. Hoping they find a fixable reason! Good luck and let us know what you find out. Take care.

You were exactly correct. Met with my surgical team today. Had new MRI and X-rays and I do indeed have a new disc herniation. I have no idea when or how this happened. So I’m now facing another surgery - this time a microdiscetomy. There are no surgery dates open until February so I’ll have to deal with the pain another two months. 😢
