Hello @india65. Have you contacted your surgical team about your ongoing pain? Some pain can come from surgical scar tissue in the fascial layers. I have done extensive work with my physical therapist who does myofascial release to get things moving properly and I am a cervical spine surgery patient. Here is our discussion on MFR.

Myofascial Release Therapy (MFR) for treating compression and pain: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/myofascial-release-therapy-mfr-for-treating-compression-and-pain/

Does MFR sound like something you would be interested in trying?

Tnx Jennifer Interestingly, aware that after 11+ mo of low back pain, b/c, as a 3X MRSA surgical loser, I'm uber-concerned the source of my pain is MRSA or FAR less so, my surgically related L4 nerve tweak and/or the common, posterior incision damage to related deep back muscles/tendons. Recently, my experienced PT/massage person has focused on this deep tissue, low back/buttocks area...I think - without naming it or saying this may be the cause. I will pass this on to her with the hope hope...before I go back to Mayo/Jax for my 1 yr check - this time predicated by all three imagery diagnostic tools.
BTW Is your connection thru MAYO JAX or ??? Neal B.
