Any real answer to your questions would require a knowledgeable evaluation of what is going on. It is unlikely that such an evaluation can be resultant from just your description of your complaint. I really cannot determine the most appropriate next step for you to take without having some hands-on contact with you and reviewing exactly what was done surgically. Whether or not an MRI might be helpful is not clear to me at this point. Many doctors will simply start throwing tests at symptoms for which they cannot account, while most tests should be though of in terms of confirming or ruling out a particular diagnostic thought rather than the test being the total means of diagnosis. As with any medical problem, no one cannot give you assurance that he or she has the answers which someone else does not, but I would select a doctor to attempt treatment of this possible complication of surgery in the same manner in which I would have chosen the surgeon to perform the surgery in the first place.

Here are my general recommendation for that . . .
