<s>[INST] My son had (supposedly non-invasive spine surgery I August of this year and has been in  excruciating pain ever since.  Th surgeon that performed the surgery claims it was successful and has no answer for the pain. He has taken the  usual MRIs and nothing shows up. He has gone for pain management injections to no avail.  While siting the pain is livable - but the minute has to stand or walk - excruciating .He is worn to a frazzle - difficult to sleep. Can you help me?   Mrs. Florence Joffe [/INST] Hi, Mrs Florence Off, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum.  As you describe it appears to be the pressure symptom on the nerves, due to the disc. Convalance may have some pain, but never so long.  Physiotherapy may prove useful. So I advise you to consult a physiotherapist.  I usually to my patient with such symptoms prescribe neurotrophic injections for 10 consecutive days, ofloxacin, and anti inflamataries.  Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. </s>
