Reading stories of implants, ketamine and spinal fusion are shocking to me and crude with the patient suffering from invasive sometimes permanent treatment that is experimental. It's a freaking crime doctors are doing this to desperate and suffering people. I refused to do it. Most of the time it makes things worse. My shoulder surgeon was afraid to give me a cortisone injection worried it would bring CRPS to that area. It didn't. But what about a spinal fusion or implant surgery. Were they worried about that? No, didn’t even know it was a problem. Pitiful and scary. Crude at best. Wishing all a recovery with neridronate infusions. Bug your representatives for trials of Italian drug here. We can beat this nightmare. Love and hope to you all. S
