Your story, written without regard for punctuation and standard grammar is difficult to follow.

If you are asking if back surgery can exacerbate pain, the answer is yes. There's plenty of evidence of negative outcomes to surgery, which is why surgery should always be reserved as a last resort in treatment.

You'll find plenty of stories here and on other back pain related websites where patients trusted their surgeons promises of improved pain and function, only to find themselves in more pain after surgery than before, and facing future surgeries because of the "domino" effect of spinal instability caused by spinal fusion.

Before you submit to further surgery, seek out a board-certified interventional pain management doctor to explore non-surgical alternatives to your pain syndrome.
