Hi Eva, I just want you to know how sorry I am that the first fusion didn't work, and now you are left in a state of pain. Having to deal with your cancer {now gone} with the problems in your spine would be hard on any person no matter how strong your faith is. I want you to know my first fusion failed too, and the doctor said there wasn't anything more that could be done for me. This doctor did not fess up to a failed cervical fusion.
I did get help from my pain doctor for 6 years. I got worse, and he found another neruo surgeon. That surgeon re-did what the other one messed up and continued to fix my entire cervical spine, reversal of the curve and all. I am now doing alot better, and it was worth it to get the kind of results I have. I was terrified about another fusion when I came here to neruo talk. I just wanted you to know, if you have to have another fusion, that there is hope for a wonderful outcome. I had lost faith in doctors, all of it. I believe there will be a good outcome for you too. You are in my prayers always. You are a spiritual blessing to all of us. ginnie
