[|AI|]  Hi there, thanks for your question at Chat Doctor.2 months is quite early to comment on granulation tissue in MRI after a disc surgery. I would recommend you to wait for another 1 to 2 months if the pain is manageable. Any new pain in a different area after surgery needs further evaluation. Whereas since you say you have pain in whole of Spine and buttocks associated with the new associated pain I would suggest you to try physiotherapy, rehabilitation and back strengthening exercises over next 2 months. If you still have pain after that an MRI then can guide as to source of pain. An MRI within 3 months will show artifacts due to surgery you start having new onset numbness or tingling sensation with unmanageable pain that would need earlier intervention. Hope this answers your question. All the best. With regards.  Chat Doctor.
