I had a back operaion 6 years ago on L4 and L5, and my body formed scar tissue etc etc. I have recently had my second operation, this time operating on L4, L5 and S1 and I feel fantastic. I have to say I wanted to die before the second operation I was in so much pain. I had the sugery in Salisbury hospital under a guy called Dr. Chapple and he was brilliant. I can't promise a second operation will work for you but if you are in thatmuch pain you have noting to lose.

i had 4 surgeries in 14 months it was scar tissue causing pain .this surgery 1 month ago i can't put ant pressure on either leg, another mri don't know if fluid is another rupture or infection, or something else? any one have this problem? til october 2005 i did hard maual work, now can't do anything. please help !!!!!

Your pain may be coming from herniaed disc at the L4/L5 and not the scar tissue so much.

It's difficult to remove the scar tissue and not have more build up, but sometimes it can be done.

What has your spine surgeon suggested to you for treatment.

You need to see a spine surgeon for diagnosis of the present issues you are having.

If your MRI has been done within the past 4 weeks and can't determine what is going on, then you might need a CT scan, especially if you have any hardware in your spine.

Please call your spine surgeon ASAP about your pain and have him/her evaluate your present situation.

Good luck and let us know how you are doing, what the doctor says.

If you get no answers from your present spine surgeon, you may need to find another spine surgeon for a second opinion.
