Failed back surgery syndrome means you still have a lot of pain even after one or more back operations. It can happen because something was missed, scar tissue formed, or nearby parts of the spine started hurting.
Symptoms may vary depending on the location and severity of the condition:
Inability to return to normal activities.
Recurrent numbness, weakness, or tingling.
Feeling that the back “gives out.”
Ongoing back and leg pain months or years after surgery.
