Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case.

You may need to do MRI spine with contrast again to see for nerve compression.
Due to compression of this nerve root there can be pain associated with it.
Previous surgery may lead to early degeneration around operated vertebrae.

Another possibility of spinal canal stenosis leading to pain on standing.

If your MRI shows disc bulge with nerve compression then re surgery may help.
.
For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic like pregabalin and methylcobalamine medication can be started consulting your doctor.
Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and TENS therapy will help
Epidural injection may help till time.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
