[|Human|] I had lumber surgery in 2009 which required 4 fused areas (lumber) area and has had debilitated chronic pain since. Doctors have said there s nothing more they can do for the pain, its been 4 years and is becoming worse on a daily basis. Daily activities are reduced to nothing, trying to relieve the pain long enough for me to shower, and take care of myself. Im 50 years old and my body is limited, Please help me to find a cure to relieve my pressure, pain, pulling, and most of all it is affected my family. Sincerely Adree Stonebraker
[|AI|]  Lumbar surgery in 2009 which required 4 fused areas (lumber) areas suggests problems at multiple disc levels. Did you get better at least for some interval after the surgery? One point to note is that the fusion procedures are mainly done to give more stability for the spine and to avoid further deterioration of weakness (or to avoid future urinary problems). This cannot assure you total pain relief. Did you have any history of trauma/ carrying heavy weights in bent posture after the surgery? Kindly get an X-Ray LS spine AP and LATERAL views to check for any displacement of implants. If implants are in normal position then you may need MRI spine to check for any infection/ residual disc causing nerve compression and to rule out other causes of failed back syn Chat Doctor.  In mean time wear a lumbosacral corset and avoid bending and carrying weights. Take simple analgesics and physiotherapy
