Hello,

I have studied your case.

You may need to do MRI spine again to see for nerve compression

If you’re new MRI shows disc bulge with nerve compression then surgery may help.

If there is instability then fusion with fixation may help.
As you have done surgery of spine now there is possibility of discitis, which can be confirmed by MRI with contrast or CT myelogram.

For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic medication can be started.
Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and TENS therapy will help
I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
If you find this answer helpful do not hesitate to rate this answer at end of discussion. Wishing you good health.

Take care.
