I just wanted to let you know that your story is exactly the same as mine. It's March 13th, 2016. I had surgery on November 18th, 2015. My pain came back on January 20th, 2016. It's so excruciating now that it's affecting my mental health and my marriage. I am waiting on another MRI to see what my neurosurgeon wants to do.
