failed to improve after one or two months, more
specific treatments might be indicated like
epidural steroid injections, transforaminal
injections, and more advanced studies might be
required like lumbar discography to diagnose the
tear and the location of the pain as well as more
advanced treatments like laser treatment to the

who has had surgery for the neck or the back once
or twice and still remains in severe pain. It is
a label that is in a way misused because it
encompasses any kind of pain that remains whether

tests that can be easily accomplished including

conduction studies, diagnostic injections to find
the source of the continuous pain and fix it or
find alternative treatments to fix it and not
have to suffer with this chronic severe pain and
