View allI had an L5-S1 TLIF surgery a year ago but I'm still in a lot of pain. I can't walk for more than 15 minutes or bend beyond a slight angle, and the pain keeps shooting down my left leg. My post-op MRI report shows issues, but I'm not sure what to do next. How can I finally get relief from this?
Persistent pain after an L5-S1 TLIF surgery, despite successful fusion, can indicate complications like adjacent segment disease, scar tissue formation, or hardware-related issues. It's crucial to have a thorough evaluation with your doctor to determine the specific cause and develop a targeted treatment plan. This may include physical therapy, nerve blocks, medications, or, in some cases, revision surgery

I've had a long duro stent for 9 months after surgery, but now doctors say I have stenosis and need open surgery. Is this the only option or are there less invasive alternatives? I'm worried about another major procedure.
If you have urethral stenosis after 9 months with a stent, open urethroplasty is often the definitive option. Less invasive techniques may be available depending on the site and severity, but they’re not always successful long-term.
