Neurologist, Surgical,  's  Response
Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. There might be the case of failed back surgery, or recurrence of herniated disc disease, so I suggest you to consult a Neurologist and discus possibility of lumbar column MRI. Treatment depends on imaging findings and your severity of symptoms. Maybe for the pain you can try local infiltration on S1 nerve root of steroid drug and analgesic (Cenocort+Lidocaine) by a Neuroradiologist. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
