Also known as the post-laminectomy syndrome,
Failed Back Syndrome is described as chronic and extreme pain that occurs after spinal surgery that was ineffective or multiple spinal surgeries. Tests are required to make a proper diagnosis and to be certain no additional underlying issues are present that could be corrected with surgery.
It is important that you understand the distinction between Failed Back surgery syndrome and the general pain and stiffness one suffers after the first few weeks of having spine surgery.

- New level of pain
