After undergoing surgery for back pain, especially if you’ve been dealing with it for several years, it’s frustrating to still be in pain after the procedure. And while acute pain is ordinary for a short period while you recover, chronic pain that continues long after your rehab is undoubtedly unwelcomed. There is something you can do: seek pain management options from a doctor who understands the intricacies of back pain, such as the team you find at New Jersey-based Redefine Healthcare.
I took my uncle to Dr. Freeman after visiting multiple other specialists and I’ve never experienced such a great team. They welcomed him with open arms and Dr. Freeman and his assistant, Edgar were very friendly. They knew exactly how to assess my uncle’s issues and provided us with more than plenty solutions. After visiting, my uncle said his pain has never felt better managed and he is recommending them to his coworkers.
Also known as failed back surgery syndrome, post-laminectomy syndrome refers to the chronic pain you experience after spinal surgery. Since back pain develops from many sources, it’s often difficult to attribute it directly to one.
According to the latest research, post-laminectomy syndrome is relatively common after undergoing back surgery. You can develop lingering discomfort due to arthritis, aging, not following the doctor’s recovery orders strictly, or for any number of other reasons.
Sometimes, bone spurs appear on the back section of your vertebrae, increasing pressure on the spine. A laminectomy, also called decompression surgery, is a specific type of back surgery that involves removing the lamina, part of the vertebra, to relieve spinal pressure. You may develop post-laminectomy syndrome after a laminectomy or any other kind of back surgery. If it happens to you, find relief from a pain management expert
Due to the complex nature of the condition, failed back surgery syndrome does not refer to a single issue. Instead, it refers to a cluster of various possible symptoms.
For instance, following your spinal surgery, you may experience:
Not only do you develop a tolerance to opioids over time, but these drugs also inhibit your ability to produce endorphins naturally. While opioids can be helpful in short-term pain relief, physical debilitation from long-term use is a significant risk.
When post-laminectomy syndrome affects your hands and feet, it’s a result of neurologic symptoms. Neurologic pain can take the form of tingling, heat, or cold sensations in the extremities. This discomfort is a result of nerve damage in the spinal column.
Neurologic symptoms can also include loss of strength and feelings of heaviness. In rare cases, you may lose bowel or bladder control. Doctors can sometimes positively identify the nerve or nerve group responsible for the neurologic symptoms, but this isn’t always the case. Your doctor may need to do extensive testing to find the source of your symptoms.
Suppose you’re suffering from post-laminectomy syndrome. In that case, you need to find the best pain management specialist available, such as one of the experts at Redefine Healthcare in northern New Jersey. Your condition requires a thorough evaluation, including a physical examination and possibly even imaging tests, such as an x-ray or an MRI.
Once diagnosed, your doctor has a wide range of treatment options that may be as simple as rehabilitation through physical therapy. Core stabilizing exercises effectively reduce pain, while stretching and yoga can improve joint mobility.
Severe spinal pain usually requires medical treatments, such as:
