Had Fusion L2-S1. Having Increased Pain. Further Course Of Treatment?
I am fused L2-S1 I lead a fairly active life but with increased pain have been told not to walk long distances or to exercise in the pool. I am going to need a surgeon to look at me. I have had 4 su Rgeries to this area since age 19. I am now 47. Who will take me? I am in TX and my last surgeon was in FL. Can you recommend course of action or doctor?

Hi
Thank you for your question.
The symptoms you have described are typical of adjacent segment degeneration. This, I am sure is not new for you as you have already had 4 surgeries. If you are willing to travel you can see a spine surgeon at University of Alabama Birmingham AL. They perform a lot many revision spine surgeries over there.
Wish you the best.
