I had a TLIF surgery for my lumbar spine a year ago but still have constant pain that won't go away even after doing all the recommended exercises. I can't walk for more than 10 minutes, and the pain shoots down my legs just like before the surgery. I also struggle to bend beyond a slight angle. My post-op MRI report is available what could be causing this, and how can I finally get relief?
Persistent pain a year after TLIF surgery, including radiating leg pain and limited mobility, could indicate several issues like failed fusion, nerve problems, or adjacent segment disease. To determine the cause and find relief, a thorough evaluation, including your post-op MRI, is crucial
