ridiculopathy pain
by sophiesmom52, Oct 29, 2009 04:27PM
I herniated from the L4-L5-S1 in 2005. I had surgery but now have what is termed FBSS (failed back surgery syndrome) with the end result being neuropathy and ridiculopathy pain in the backs of my knees, shooting up into the buttocks. Anyone else out there with this sort of pain? I cannot take neurontin or lyrica, because I have adverse side effects from these RXs. Any other ideas?

The treatments of failed back surgery syndrome includes physical therapy, nerve block medications, electrical stimulation on the skin called transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), lifestyle changes & behavioral medicine, non-steroidal anti inflammatory (NSAID) medications, membrane stabilizers, antidepressants, spinal cord stimulation, and spinal morphine pump.
I would suggest you to discuss with your orthopedician and go ahead with whatever suits your case.
Take care!
