Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The persistent pain in your lower back needs a detailed assessment after an MRI scan to know the exact cause.
Most of the times even after the surgery, physiotherapy exercises and traction are needed for a complete relief. The age related degenerative changes in the spine and osteoporosis can also contribute to the symptoms. You need to check your vitamin D 3 and serum calcium levels to detect any such deficiency.
Usually after the surgery, a nerve compression is released and the nerves regain their function in next 4-6 weeks. Taking methylcobalamin supplements will help in an early recovery.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.

Methylacobalamin is Vitamin B 12 which helps in regeneration of nerves and decreases the nerve related pain. You can get it prescribed from your neurologist.
