I replied before i realized that you wanted ONLY unsuccessfull replies. I am only 4 1/2 weeks out of surgery, but at the moment I would consider this successfull. I do have a lot of muscle spasm, and cramping in my upper back, chest, arms and hands. I am hoping that will ease with time. I do not have any numbness or tingling. However, my arms and hands have been so COLD. When I wake up in the morning I am very sore and dizzy, and find it difficult to get around. I loosen up during the day, but the spasms come and go.
I am more functional right now. For the first time in over a year I have started knitting again. I would die of boredom if I couldn't at least do that. I can't drive, and my daycare is closed, so I am at home alone all day which is very wierd for me.
I hope everyone is well.
