I hate to say it, but this is what happens after spinal surgery, even if you DON'T have fusion. I've had 2 open surgeries, but no fusion and i had to have the 2nd surgery because of the first! Now i have 4 more herniations because of these surgeries, but I'm now inoperable due to osteoporosis, so i have to live with it.
you see, the doctors don't tell us this. why should they when they make big buck from the surgery? they don't tell us of the danger of further surgery. mine certainly didn't. he wanted the money. now i'm forced to suffer because of his greed!
it''s the same for all of us who go thru this. too bad we can't prove it, huh?
God bless. hugs, Lee
