Failed Back Surgery Syndrome
Post-spinal surgery pain, also called failed back surgery syndrome, describes the persistence or return of pain in the back or legs after a surgical procedure on the spine.
Common causes: It may be due to factors such as scar tissue, changes in neighboring structures, or the source of the pain not fully corresponding to what was operated on.
Frequent symptoms: Pain that continues past the expected recovery, discomfort that radiates to the limbs, or a sensation of stiffness.
Which specialist treats it? The pain specialist, dedicated to pain management, and the anesthesiologist trained in chronic pain are the ones who usually help with these cases. If pain persists after spinal surgery, it is worth having it evaluated by a professional who can adjust follow-up to your progress.
