14 months after surgery and need revision 😒
Hello everyone, I haven't been on the forum for a while but do read your post now and then.
At my 1 year visit with My surgeon, he said everything looked fine. I told him I still had a lot of pain and still had to take 2 oxycodone a day. He decided to send me for a CatScan and this Tuesday we once again went to Toronto to find out the results.
Apparently I did not fuse from L4-L5 and my L5 vertebrae has cracked and a screw has come loose.
So this means another surgery.
Getting very depressed about the whole situation, I Know a lot of you have gone through a second or even more revisions.
Is it as hard as the first one?
