I have had three back surgeries in the last 18months. Both anterior and posterior, l4-l5 initially and l3-l4 7 months ago. In the last 6 months I have had severe pain down radiating down my right leg and into my foot. I had this same problem on and off in between the 2nd and 3rd surgery. I recently had an mri to check l5-s1 and I am told that that disc looks fine. In the last few days, the pain in my foot is so severe that I can not walk on it. An x-ray was taken to rule out a foot injury. I was put on lyrica a week ago. Now, my middle three toes are swollen and painful. Could this be from the scar tissue from the surgeries. Any ideas what to do? I am 40 years old and cannot believe that I am still not better and actually worsening. I have been to orthopedic doctors and the last surgery was done by a neurosurgeon. Also, I do have a tear in my SI joint from the initially injury that started all of this. ( I was on my stomach pulling a heavy pump from a tank that slipped and I caught it)
