What is "failed back surgery syndrome"? I think I may have it.
The problem of debilitating back pain has become an epidemic in the United New ways to control pain are being developed. These measures include epidural steroid injections, spinal cord stimulation, and morphine pump. Use of epidural steroid injections has been shown to decrease the frequency and intensity of the pain. One to three injections are common.

Persistent pain from a failed back surgery can be a complex and challenging problem. It may take some time to sort all the factors and find the best treatment approach. The first step is to see a physician for a diagnosis. Once the problem has been properly identified, then a specific treatment plan can be determined.
