Is There Any Cure For Chronic Back Pain Due To Permanent Nerve Damage?

Hello, I had back surgery done in 2010, fusion of L5-S1, and ever since then I ve had chronic back and leg pain that gets worse with any activity to the point that I m in tears. But the Dr. that did the surgery I ve been seeing this whole time can t find anything wrong with the procedure they performed looking at c/t scans, MRIs, x-rays, etc. They did find out that I have permanent nerve damage. But would that get worse over time? Also I had two other discs, one above and one below of the disc that was removed which were inflamed and leaking. Please tell me your opinion of what I should do from here.

Neurotically recovery after damaged nerve root is less likely. You are having PIVD a condition which worsens with activities and as age advances. Avoid bending forward and lifting heavy weight, physiotherapy. Tab pregaline and analgesics will help for symptomatic relief. In future you may need surgeryHope my advice will help you. Take care.
