What Relieves The Pain In Groin Area That Is Radiating Down The Legs?
Had a lumbar fusion in June and continue to have pain in groin area that radiates down legs. I don't want to continue pain medication daily but if I plan on getting out during the day I have to and only lady a few hours before pain in back is untolerable.. Any recommendations
Back pain with rediculopathy is most likely cause by nerve compression. As you are saying that you had surgery for lumbar fusion, it may possible that still some nerve compression is there. My advice to you is to repeat MRI of spine and find out the real cause of pain. If MRI is normal,we can be sure that there is nothing serious, and you can take smptomatic treatment.
