Dear patient
What surgery was done and spinal fixation was done or not? We're your symptoms improved after surgery or there was no improvement? If your mother's symptoms remained same after surgery with no improvement it suggests surgery was not done properly. If symptoms improved after surgery for few years and now there is recurrence it can be 1. Disc prolapse at adjacent level 2. Spinal instability. This needs to be investigated with mri of lumbosacral spine with screening of whole spine to confirm diagnosis. You need to consult expert spine surgeon with report. All the best.
