    I told him that I didn’t feel relief not for a minute after surgery compared to pre surgery and I also asked him how quickly does scar tissue form? Five minutes after surgery? Because when I woke up I and right up until now I’m exactly the same. He then started talking about blood that he thought would compress the nerve and that’s when I left.

    If five other spine physicians have seen the images and all think the mass is another disc fragment (HNP), I would trust their collective judgment. I don’t endorse but I understand your surgeon’s reluctance to agree that this is a residual or recurrent fragment as I am sure to him it is hard to admit a fragment could be recurrent or missed.

    Find a good competent careful surgeon to help you now.
