@ladeedi51 I don't have experience with the procedures you've mentioned, but in some of your other posts, you described tightness and pulling down the back of your legs after the vertiflex surgery. Is that still an issue and perhaps contributing to the pain you feel now?

What I might suggest is looking at this discussion about myofascial release. All surgery creates scar tissue that gets tight and it can cause pain. It tends to link to other tightness we have from injuries or restrictions in our bodies. I have done a lot of this MFR therapy and it has really helped me. Perhaps there is a spine issue that need surgery, but fascial scar tissue and tightness can add to the pain. It may be something to try before you make a decision on further surgery.

I'm curious if your surgeon mentioned a laminectomy? My cousin had that and was recovered and out of pain in a couple weeks. In that surgery, they cut some bone and open up space from the back of the vertebrae to treat stenosis in the spinal canal.
