Suggest Treatment For Severe Lower Back Pain
I am having severe lower back pain on the right side. I had back surgery about 10 years ago, have 2 rods and 8 screws in my back. I have also had an ablation 2 times and 3 times on the right because it didn t work the 2nd time. They tell me they can t get at the nerve that needs to be fried or whatever because the rods are in the way. I am really sick and tired of being in pain all the time. So my question is do you think those rods should be removed?

Hello,
It may be due to sprain. You can take tablet acetaminophen. If not getting relief, do MRI after orthopedic consultation.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
