    Finding positive stuff to when you can really helps. You're not alone, there are others of us in daily pain coping with failed surgery. Thinking of you.

    Hi
    I was wondering how you are doing now? I am so sorry what you have been through. Who was your original surgeon? I couldn't figure that out. Again hope this is behind you now. I am looking into getting surgery.
    thanks

    JK, please come back and talk to us.....don't give up. You have a lot to offer and so many here care about you.
    Severe compression of spinal cord, flaval ligament, etc. at C4/5 & 5/6.
    Herniation and compression, at L3/4 to L5/S1 plus spondylosis at the latter level. Severe allergy to most metals.
    Three level surgery in Brazil with Dr. Luiz Pimenta on March 17/2010 using non-metal appliances. L5/S1-PEEK cage, ALIF; L4/5-PEEK cage, XLIF; C5/6-NuVasive NeoDisc. Three separate approaches, two minimally invasive. Currently minor residual back pain, from SI ligament and still overdoing things . Therapy and chiropractic treatments helping immensely. Gone from being almost bedridden to near normal activities including gardening. Life is gooooood!

    Buddy I dont know what it is that is standing between you and a revision op or getting the next level done if it needs too but you'd better move heaven and earth to make it happen.
