He should be seeing his back surgeon or a pain doctor for help. Sometimes it is the arteries that are the source of the nerve damage.

I am sorry that he finds himself in this situation, but the best way forward is to get a full evaluation of the cause.

Hello, this is not an easy situation. I assume that they have drained these recurrent abscesses by putting a tube into them while you are getting a CT scan. there may be an infected suture present or other foreign body.

There is much information that I do not have related to this situation and thus I can offer no more than this.
