Need Treatment For Back Pain Other Than Surgery

Yes, I have a lower back problem. In 2007, I had my L4 and L5 fused. In 2010, I started having back pain again, where I was unable to get out of bed until later in the day. I might add that I had been my Mother s primary caregiver from 2000 until she passed 3/11. I have since discovered that my L5 and S1 is my problem. Do you know of any other treatment than surgery. I consulted with a Neurosurgeon and he said that he would have to redo everything all over (removing previous fusion).
