What Causes Lower Back Pain After Having Neck Surgery?

I had neck surgery about 1 year ago, and soon after the surgery I began to experience lower back pain. Ever since the surgery I am continuing to experience back pain and it seems to be getting worse. I am getting pain in my legs and it is starting to effect my duties at work. Do yo have any advice that might help me? Thank you.

Hi
Welcome to healthcaremagic
I have gone through your query and understand your concern.After going through your query I came to know that you are suffering from chronic backache.It is unlikely to be related to your neck surgery. It may be due to vitamin and trace element deficiencies specially vitamin D and vitamin B 12.You can get vitamin D and vitamin B12 levels and if found low you can take its suppliments of vitamin B12 and D3.You need to done MRI to rule out other causes. Back exercises, neurotropics such as mecobalamine and analgesics such as Ibuprofen give relief. Avoid long continuous standing.You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it.Hope your query get answered.If you have any clarification then please don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to help you.
Wishing you a good health.
