What are your restrictions since the surgery and are you following them ... They are yours restrictions and some rmployers try to get ppl to not follow them ... They are given to you from the doctor to give time to allow healing .

Depending on where You're Epidural Fibrosis is will depend what they can do for You. I saw a Total of 9 (Both Ortho. and Neuro. Surgeons) and unless something New comes along, I will Live in Pain for Life. I wouldn't Wish the Pain I have Daily on the Most Nasty and Unforgiving Workers Comp. Adjuster!! That should give You an Idea of the Pain Scar Tissue in the wrong Area can feel. Mine is Wrapped around and Totally Encases My S1 Nerve Root, so Every Movement causes inflamation, thus the Pain. Best of Luck, I just wanted to make Sure You were clear on the Two Terms, I Hope to God it's All Granulation Tissue for You!!

Also, You can expect Pain for Many Months after Spinal Surgery. You have to remember they had to cut through 4 Layers of Muscle to get to Your Spine, and Nerve Pain is slow to Heal. I Believe they say an Average Time for a Nerve that was Compressed for any length of Time takes one Month per Inch to Heal! Again, Good Luck!!

Hey Limbo, when I am sitting or standing, espesially driving the slightest movement of my pelvis area just causes knife like pain in my back, left and right some cause pain i the extremities both sides. Is this what you feel cuz it stinks!!

My Pain is Continual Across the Lower Back, down the Back of My Right Leg,and into My Foot, of which the Right Half of is Numbed for Life! Excursion and too Much Movement Causes Severe Pain in the Same areas, and at Times into the Left Leg to the Foot. I wouldn't Wish this Pain on a Living Soul!! 21 Pills a Day just to be able to Walk! I Hope You Feel Better Soon!

My low back pain is continual also but normal pain levels are 1-3 on a 1 to 10 scale and get progressively worse as the day goes on. I wish nothing but the best for you and hope u get dome relief somehow some way! God Bless!
