I had fusion surgery

I had fusion surgery and now live on pain pills. Can this procedure help with scar tissue pushing on a nerve and causing chronic pain in the buttock, leg, and knee?
A. Many people believe their pain is from scar tissue and nerve injuries but we don't. Please get an EMG/NCV test. NCV means nerve conduction test. This is the test you need to see if you truly have nerve injury. If it is a lot of nerve injury then you will need a treatment beside Prolotherapy. If you have mild nerve injury or your nerves are deemed fine, then by all means get an evaluation for Prolotherapy.
In situations such as these, Prolotherapy has a high cure rate. Generally 3-8 treatments of Prolotherapy are needed. Remember any ligament can give you referral pain at a distance sight. So yes your burning pains down your leg can be coming from your lower back.
