had a accident over 10 yrs ago to my back. i have had back surgery to repair it and rods were placed in and a fusion was done at the L-5 S-1, rods from L-3 down. Also have spinal cord stimulator and pain meds daily. Is there any hope of it accually getting fixed or will i just be stuck this way?
Dear patient sorry to be the bearer of bad news but by the operation you have described it seems there is very little chance of the spinal simulator and rod to be removed. The pain meds may be reduced with physiotherapy, but there is no guarantee. I wish I could be of more helpmate care
