I had surgery 10 years ago. After about six months, I was worse, so my doctor put me on steroids thinking they would clear up any inflammation still lingering as a result of the surgery. The steroids made no difference. A few months later I had an MRI of my brachial plexus which showed scar tissue building up around the BP which hadn't been there according to MRIs done prior to surgery.
I've never had re-do surgery but I've considered it after 10 years of worse pain and reduced functionality. I wonder if removing scar tissue could reduce some of my symptoms or if it would just be a vicious cycle.
I hope you feel better soon.
