If you want to be prepared for post-surgery recovery, check out our webinar to help people understand what causes pain after back surgery.
Failed Back Surgery Syndrome, or (FBSS), refers to patients who experience new or persistent pain after spinal surgery for back or leg pain (1) . While most patients are led to believe that surgery will provide relief, the unfortunate reality is that for between 10-46% of patients, pain tends to persist (2) .
