Solutions for Pain After Spine Surgery | Episode 76

Get Back To Your Life

Still in pain after spine surgery? You’re not alone - and more importantly, you're not out of options. In this powerful episode, two of the nation’s top spine surgeons — Dr. Christopher Good and Dr. Ehsan Jazini — dive into one of the most challenging realities in spine care: when surgery doesn’t fully relieve the pain. They’ll uncover why post-surgical pain can persist, the overlooked causes, and the most effective next steps for long-term relief. From innovative treatments to holistic approaches, this episode is about helping you understand what’s happening and how to take control of your health and make a full recovery. Most importantly, failed spine surgery doesn’t mean you failed. And it doesn’t mean it’s the end of the road. With an accurate diagnosis, a supportive recovery plan, and a surgeon who listens, you can stop spinning in pain cycles and start moving toward lasting relief. With over three decades of combined experience diagnosing some of the most complex conditions and performing revision surgeries, Dr. Good and Dr. Jazini get to the root causes surgery doesn’t always meet expectations, and they map out new solutions to help you reclaim your quality of life. In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What “failed spine surgery syndrome” is (and how it’s often misunderstood)
• Red flags to watch for during recovery
• The importance of the patient-doctor relationship
• Why expectations and communication matter as much as the procedure itself
• How to know when it’s time for a second opinion
• What to ask your surgeon before surgery
• How a collaborative spine care model helps patients get back to their lives—even after surgery has failed them elsewhere

Whether you’ve had spine surgery and are still in pain—or are trying to make the best decision about what to do next—this episode is honest, hopeful, and designed to help you take back control.
