I am so so sorry to have read the outcome
A failed cervical 5/6-6/7 cadaver bone did not fuse
first time around

Second just a horrible botched job
done posterior
Developed a hematoma that needed to be seen throughout
the night as it needed to be drained MANY TIMES
it filled cups that we use when giving urine samples
AGAIN NOT THE TINY VILES
BUT CONTAINERS FILLED WITH SPINAL FLUIDS
the doctor just shut up
Did not have a word to say after my daughter gave him a
IMPRESSIVE LESSON
TOLD HIM
THIS IS THE ONLY PARENT I HAVE
ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL HER
she was with me the entire time
Never left my side
There is a picture posted somewhere on here
My first ACDF was March 10, 2010

To address your terrible outcome
gives me a confirmation on my decision
not to have a pain pump or a SCS coming here
doing my homework
Reading people's personal experience strength and hope
Rarely will I see a person on getting pain pumps
Most are SCS
I have multitudes of problems
First mechanical that is being handled by opioids
that was a long process trial and error
And then my neurological problems
Fibromyalgia, neuropathy and a slew of other problems
that are surfacing as time moves on
Point
I am super sensitive to all medicines
My story is different yet we share much

I PERSONALLY believe that you can have it removed
Remember IT IS YOUR BODY
it made no sense for me to have a pain pump
Would have gone through the same you are going through
And wish to have died at that point
I said to myself
If I was to get a pain pump
I would have less control
in the sense
It i external

I understand the trial of finding what might work
This is why Meds should be trialed on a external level
and when finding what works
Maybe and chances are still no as far as the pain pump
Meds that only masked our pains
And then the neurological Meds two that caused
SEVERE SIDE EFFECTS
LYRICA AND THE FENTYNAL (spelling) patch
DALAUDID BIG TIME CAUSED ATRIL FIBRILLATION
Found out after first ACDF
THAT A COMPLETE OTHER HORRIFIC EXPERIENCE

I tell you this
As it is my personal experience
And wanted to chime in on the pain pump

Why wouldn't you want to take your Meds by mouth
Your pump not only is a foreign object that does what it
is programmed to do
Oh heck no
"I" would get that sucker out ASAP
and administer Meds on my own
PLEASE NOTE
THIS IS MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE

I PRAY YOU FIND YOUR WAY IN THIS DECISION MAKING
Is family involved as advocates manner
Where you can talk out the decision
This I hope you have in your life

I am so sorry to have heard this be your or anyone's
experience

Thank you for sharing
I pray you will find a way to eliminate
the pain

Someone who cares
Me
