I went to the pain management doctor today who informed me he is unable to give me epidural shots of cortizone which my doctor prescribed. He said to try acupuncture to see if it helps. He is trying to get approval from my medical insurance for a teuns unit (sp?) which may help with some of the pain.
My other alternative is to have all my hardware removed which he does not recommend. I won't go for it anyway. It's been there 33 years and it's staying there.
I never had any idea I would be in so much pain and have so many problems from this surgery. I have spurs on my neck with degenative disks and spinal stenosis in the lower lumbar as well as broken off calcium deposits, arthritis and degenerative disks.
