Wow I’m sorry I just had my first 5 weeks ago, the pain before surgery was only gone for less than three weeks but I had plenty from surgery, now I have both and it’s worse than before and still have another 2-5 months of recovery to go, idk what I’m going to do, I’m 37 and still have a child to raise and hardly any help, I can barely walk through the house now, and supposed to get an X-ray and see Nuerosurgeon this week but can’t even get the X-ray because I can’t walk that far at the hospital and they don’t have any volunteers to help push people in hospital right now due to Covid-19, my sister my only help has covid-19 right now, it’s a very hard time in every way right now

I’ve had four surgeries and the last one - they installed a metal fusion. It did NOT work! And they charged me $100,000! It absolutely did NOT work, and I am thinking about suing him. 😢😢😢

I had a 6 1/2 hour spinal surgery over a year ago. The major result was a 60% loss of movement in my neck and head, but there was little pain relief. Is there nothing I can do?
