Your Back Pain May be Worse after Having Back Surgery

Are you thinking about undergoing the knife to eliminate your back pain? Before you make such an important decision which will affect the rest of your life, it’s important to read the experiences of other back pain sufferers who have had this invasive surgery.

Below are four posts, taken from the Spine Health Forum, of people whose pain is worse after their back surgery:

Here I’m again posting. 15 months post L3-S1 fusion with iliac bone graft. I just can't get past the pain and spasms. I thought I'd be walking around and enjoying life. Instead, I have to take pain pills just to do normal daily living tasks.

I myself am still in considerable pain post operation {18 months now}. My first operation in 1996 was a laminectomy L4/L5. My second operation was in 2007, a bilateral discectomy S1 and redo of L4/L5 laminectomy to release scar tissue from my first back surgery.

I am three years post anterior double fusion L3-SI. I am in the same boat. I also need medications just to do normal things.

I went through a fusion on L5-S1 10 months ago and it was my second back surgery. The first time around was a bust since I suffered a recurrent herniation among other problems. These two surgeries were supposed to make me feel a whole lot better and get me on my feet again. It didn't go that way in either case!

The failure rate for back surgery is deplorable. In fact, in many cases the surgery actually makes the pain worse then before the surgery was done.

Why do back surgeries fail?

The answer lies in first understanding the cause of the back pain. In almost all cases, the herniation (a pathology in the spinal discs) and resulting back pain is caused by an underlying problem. And surprising enough, frequently that underlying problem is the way your feet function when you walk.

A direct link has been documented between back pain and bad posture resulting from foot twist (abnormal foot motion). When the posture is improved by eliminating the foot twist, the back pain quickly dissipates, without the need for surgery.

Rothbart Proprioceptive Therapy has been proven to be a very effective therapy that eliminates back pain by reprogramming the cerebellum (brain) to automatically improve posture.
