<s>[INST] I had spinal fusion surgery in April of 2012. I had to have the hardware removed in Feb 2013. I am hurting worse now than before ever having surgery. my dr says the only thing he can do is a spinal stimulation therapy which involves another surgery with a machine installed inside of me.  I dont want another surgery especially with the side effects from this particular surgery. what should I do? since this surgery I have also developed RLS.. please help me... [/INST] Hi, Thank you for posting your query. It is unfortunate that you did not improve with surgery, in fact, your pain has worsened after the spinal fusion surgery. At this stage, you would benefit from taking neuropathic pain medications such as pregabalin, gabapentin or duloxetine capsules. For RLS, you can take pramipexole tablets. I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow-up queries or if you require any additional information. Wishing you good health, Chat Doctor. Ly/ </s>
