In this episode, Dr. David Chang advises a caller on post-operative pain after spinal fusion. Eleanor has had spine surgery a year ago and is facing residual pain from her buttocks down her back thigh, more on her right side and less on the left side. She describes her pain as overwhelming and, although she can walk, she has problems sitting up for an extended period of time. Dr. Chang describes the basics of a fusion surgery and possible complications after this procedure. Stenosis can develop after a fusion surgery, so it is highly important for the patient to learn the symptoms. Nerve rehabilitation can take 1 to 3 years post surgery.
