What Causes Recurring Pain In The Hip To Groin Area After A Lower Lumbar Fusion?
Hi I had a lower lumbar fusion in 1997. In the last 5 years I have been getting recurring hip pain that goes to groin, thigh knee and foot. Mostly is on right side but does go to left. Sitting and standing are the worse. This has been going on for 4 weeks and I m now bed ridden. Nothing seams to release it.

Hello,
You had your lumbar fusion long back ,so it would be advisable if you get it checked again by the doctor for any changes.If there is a nerve getting pinched in your back then a nerve release operation will be good.
Till then you need to avoid painful movements, it would be good if you wear a lumbar support.Since you are on bed now it will be good if you do certain exercises like back press and limb raises to prevent further complications
Hope you get well soon and this helps you
