    Good afternoon

    My fusion was based on the fact that my first surgery failed and discs re-herniated.
    I know I must have a another spine doctor look at the images.
    There is got to be something causing it.
    Thanks for advice Best regards

    You need another set of eyes to understand your current symptoms. All your images including prep images need to be included.

    Good evening

    If these residual disks are causing compression what is the method of getting rid of them if they are causing my recurrent pain? From your experience would there have to be more surgery or is it something I just deal with for the rest of my life with pain. I am just curious.

    Best regards

    Very hard to know what is causing your pain with the limited information I have. There are many potential causes of back and leg pain and the diagnosis can be difficult, especially with prior surgery. You need a full workup with new imaging and a thorough examination.
