Pain after spinal fusion

Pain after spinal fusion

I had spinal fusion surgery 10 years ago in 1999 on my lower back, L1,L2, and L3 I believe. Recently I have experienced a great deal of pain in my neck and hamstrings through my calves. Can this be related to my previous surgery? can the fusion be pinching a nerve creating this pain?

The pain in the thighs and calves may/may not be related and for this you have to do a fresh evaluation  of the                                                                                                                    healing process after the previous surgery near an Orthopaedician.

Neck pain can never be linked to the previous injury and for this take anti inflammatory drugs and ice packs.
