How Can Severe Pain After Back Surgeries Be Treated?
I have had four back surgeries. The last one on 6/7/18 was a OLLIF back surgery fusion. The implant spacers put in two different disc And one failed and fell out a few days after surgery. I m now in severe pain and my Doctor said I need another MRI and he needs to take out failed disc separator on right side of my L3 - L5 and put in rods , screws etc. It will take at least s month before I get new surgery. I am on oxycodone 10-325 and 25 mg extended release but my pain is unbearable. I won t make it a month from now
