Dennis,
I had dynesys in feb 2007. As in your case I have less leg and foot pain and yes I have more back pain than pre op. I am also now getting more frequent mild leg symptoms. I have had up's and downs since surgery and I am still not sure whether I would say it was a success or not. I am limited in activites that require bending. Bending doesn't always cause me pain at the time, but it sure does after the fact.
I know at about 4-5 months after I thought the surgery did nothing for me. I am now about 9 months out and I can say while I may not be great, I am better and not in as much pain as before. I no longer have those episodes where a cough or a sneeze put me at a 10 for weeks.
Hang in there...it may still get better!
