Default Screw removal for pain

Hello!

This is why I have not given my consent to the fusion my neurosurgeon wants to do.

According to my Doctor it is not uncommon for both the type of pain you describe as well as a high incidence of a second surgery.

Ice, ice, ice - the shot will begin to work...for me it was not immediate, it did take up to 3 days one time, and up to a week for another - drink plenty of fluids and rest.

All the best to you

Kim
