I
m 10 years post op and you said to slow down....I did, for a while! Now, I have the nagging Sacral pain that is similar to pre-op. The only difference is that I don
t have pain at the levels of the TLIF, its behind my Illiac Crest near L5-S1. Is this normal at 10 years? The last thing I want to do is start all over again! If the vertebrae are fused and there
s no movement, what causes the pain…..other than rock climbing, mountain biking, road riding, work, etc? The last sentence just answered my question, geez!For some reason my original post above is unreadable…..

The last sentence just answered my question, geez!This sacroiliac pain can be residual nerve root irritability or a possible new problem at the sacroiliac joint. Did the pain never fully recede or was it not present after surgery and slowly developed after surgery?

Thank you for your response! I`m grateful for your time!
“The pain was not present after surgery and slowly developed. It has progressively gotten worse due to activity.” This sounds like a new problem and more likely, a sacroiliac issue.

Cause-my 87lb Black and Tan Coonhound jumping up on the bed at night and pushing me to the edge of the mattress…It took a while to figure this out! My contorted spine wasn’t happy! Thanks
