Millions of people all around the world suffer from some sort of back problems that are typically accompanied by pain. These people spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on medications, treatments such as adjustments or physical therapy and finally a surgical procedure. But unfortunately for thousands of patients, their journey or pain is just beginning for they will suffer failed back surgery. This is a real syndrome in which everything the surgeon has done, did not work for the person.

There are many different things that could contribute to the FBSS, including but not limited to pressure on the spinal nerve in post operative surgical procedure, herniated disc that keeps coming back, mobility in the joints that has been altered, spinal muscular de-conditioning and scar tissue from the operation. People will experience several dissimilar types of pain when they have had an operation. They may find that they are more depressed than normal, have more irritability and be getting less sleep. All of these things and others could be contributing factors to the FBSS and should be dealt with on a case by case basis.

Some individuals may be predisposition to FBSS and their symptoms include diabetes, peripheral blood vessel or vassal disease and many of the autoimmune diseases. Some of the symptoms that could contribute to this phenomenon also known as post-laminectomy syndrome include, but are not limited to are dull and aching pain in the legs and back area, abnormal sensitivity and stabbing pain in the limbs.

There are a few treatment options for those who suffer from FBSS and it is not always more operations. A doctor might suggest another operation, however a patient has the right to decline, and it is after all, their body. Anti-inflammatory drugs of the non-steroid kind, mood stabilizers and anti-depressants all help to some extent to manage the pain but may not address the root of the problem. There is also an electric stimulator that will help at the sight of the pain, but here again, this is a temporary fix.

For people who are suffering from constant back trouble, there are two categories or groups medical personnel place them into. These are the people who have had at least one spine surgery and found no relief. The first group is those people who really did not need or want the operation; however, their doctor recommended it to help alleviate their pain. In the second group, these people were having the operation and either there was some problem and the doctor could not finish it or the doctor deemed the surgical procedure a success before it was complete and then it really did not help.

There is a fairly new procedure called lumbar fusion that many people are having done instead of the typical spine operations. The lumbar fusion does exactly what it implies, fuses the lumbar portion of the spine together so there is no more spaces or cause of pain. However, with all types of operations, there is still a chance to suffer from failed back surgery.
