Hi Eva -- I'm so sorry you're having so much pain. I know we can all symptathize.
It's certainly disheartening when surgery does NOT take care of the pain. I've had 2 open surgeries, and neither one helped relieve the pain at all. That happens VERY often -- surgery just doesn't take care of pain. It only corrects mechanical problems.
I hope your doc is aggressively treating your pain. Ask your doc for a referral to a pain management specialist if you haven't already. they can give you more options for pain relief.
I hope you find some answers to ease your pain soon. Take care & God bless! Hugs, Lee
