I'm so very sorry that you went through all the pain of surgery and it didn't work and now facing surgery to have the pins removed.

He actually put in four screws. Two in each side. It really was my understanding that it was the norm to put the four in for a true pelvic fixation however I wasn't sure because I probably have some degree of SI joint dysfunction on the right as well though not as "flail" as they said on the left. Whatever, I'm still in a quandary, Would you go back to the same MD if the first didn't work. Its a 6 hour drive to Atlanta and add hotel rooms as well. I think it took a year for me to recover and then only had maybe four months of feeling good and now I'm worse than before!! (What a runon sentence.)
