Need advise please. Had a laminiectomy L4/L5 done in 2016 at Tripler in Hawaii. Since that surgery my pain has gotten really worse and now I'm on wheelchair unable to stand for long periods, numbness in my legs to my feet, pain from my lower back now to my upper back. I was awarded IU P/T no future examination, my over rate is 90. I have was denied house bound and just recently saw my primary doctor and he said I should ask for a increase for my back because of my continues pain. Will it hurt my rating...

I really didnt realize how much we use our backs in everyday living. I so regret the surgery, and with Crohns disease to go with it, it sure aint fun going to the bathroom.
