Back pain

hello, I am 38 years old female.the story of my back pain started about 15 yrs ago.At first i did not have no back pain, my right leg started becoming numb on walking.then pain in the front thighs of my legs,i was told by one of the surgeons that i will have to get surgery done on my back to relieve the pressure on the nerve otherwise my nerve will get damaged and they will not be able to do anything.I underwent the knife of the surgeon in 1994.three months after the surgery I started feeling burning sensation on the front of my thighs 24/7. The burning sensations were very strong.I then had some physiotherapy.Burning sensations went down and I was left with sharp stabbing pain in my right buttock,which after few years changed into strong pains in the back near to the spine. even though it was in the side handles of my hips I was told that the pain generator is l5/s1.In 2003 I underwent a spinal fusion.I did not get no relief from the existing pain But my back became very tender and sore. Now I feel strong pains coming from L5/S1 area.It is very difficult to sit for longer periods.Sleeping is hard,I can feel the injury when I touch my back.Now my surgeon is saying,"may be we have not done enough." IF THERE IS ANYONE WHO CAN HELP, PLEASE HELP ME.
