Patient Question

Hello Doctor,

 

I’m experiencing severe pain in my lower back, especially around the area where I had back surgery. The pain feels quite intense, and I’m concerned because it seems like it’s getting worse. Is this something I should be worried about, and what can I do to relieve the pain?

 

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

 

Given your history of back surgery, it’s important to consult with the surgeon who performed the procedure or the doctor who referred you to them. The pain you're experiencing could be related to factors such as the current condition of the area, the stage of degeneration, and any possible complications from the surgery. A thorough evaluation by your healthcare provider will be necessary to determine the exact cause and the best course of action for treatment. In the meantime, I recommend avoiding any strenuous activity that could further strain your back.

 

Thanks
