Hi,

Spinal cord surgery can lead to delayed complications like you due to fibrous scar / thickened ligaments or tendons / slipped discs from other sites due to weakened spine. Any of these could have caused you the post operative problem. Physiotherapy would be ideal management in such cases, also, give results. In case of no relief, repeat surgery may be needed but such surgery has more risk of complications. Please consult your surgeon for personal advise.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
