Failed Back Surgery

Failed back surgery is due to unsuccessful back or spinal surgery where continued pain is present post operation despite a technically good operation. The pain from failed back surgery can either be at the site where the surgery had taken place or over a new area where pain was previously not present or nerve pain radiating down the leg.
