Where exactly does your back hurt? Is it lower or upper back. I have back problems also but they think it is due to disc problems. Have you had any tests done on your back? I had an MRI and that is when it showed a herniation but I do think some of the problem is due to adhesions. Pain is so hard to understand where it starts because it radiates everywhere. Since your surgery are you hurting in the same place and your back? Is your dr going to do anything else? Are you going to pain management? E-mail me if you have a chance. Hoping your pain gets better and just know that we are here and we do care.
