Pain After Spinal Fusion
Sent to Health Experts August 24 07:27 PM

During the summer of 2003 I started experiencing severe pain down the outside of my left leg. I was diagnosed with a tumor on my spine. In September of 2003 I had the tumor removed. The pain did not subside and I was diagnosed with a bulging disc. I had the disc removed in November of 2003. I had a little bit of relief but it came back. The cause was scar tissue and I was told I had a degenerative arthritis. In September of 2004 I had a spinal fusion. Now the leg and ankle pain is gone for the most part but I have really bad back pain everyday. I can't take it anymore. What should I do now?
