5 years post fusion pain again
 
[b]hi Everyone I'm New Here. I Was Wondering If Someone Can Help Me. I Have Had Spondylolisthesis For 25 Years Had Plif L5 S1 Surgery 5 Years Ago. Now Pain Is Back Had A Xray And It Says One Of My Lower Screws Appears To Be Beyond The Ventral Cortex. Post Operative Changes Seen. My Nuerologist Putting Me Off. Any Input Appreciated

Not knowing (and definitely not wanting to pry or seem intrusive) how referrals work for you re: your docs/insurance, if not feeling good about how you're being treated, and if the option is available, I'd do one or both of the following:

A) Schedule an appointment specifically for a heart-to-heart with the neurologist and relay how I'm feeling (put off or dismissed, etc.) and why so. I'd pitch it back to the doc, and ask how he/she thinks that can change. If no resolution...

B) Ask - PCP - for a referral to another neurologist.
