I had spinal surgery app 2 years ago and 6 months later i started to have excruciating pain! I persistantly went to said surgeon over the course of 6 months informing him of changes and increased pain. NO tests were performed whatsoever and no physical assessment After 6 months my primary had to attend a visit and encourage an MRI. That MRI showed emergent need for repeat surgery. Now i have permanent neuro involvement after the second procedure dut to shards of disc penetrating the sciatic nerve over the 6 months of non-treatment.

My advice is the same as lindilou's. Ask for a complete copy of your medical records from your primary and surgery doctors before you go...INSIST. A good malpractice surgeon should be able to help. TELL HIM THE WHOLE TRUTH.
I truly hope you have some recourse and your condition will improve.
