Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Persistent symptoms after back surgery is more suggestive of compression of nerves. So there is no good stabilization of spine achieved by only cor flex. You need additional stabilization with rods and screws. This might reduce the compression.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
