Thank you Linda. I will reach out to him again. I’ve got to try.

Linda, do you think I should contact Dr Berven back? We had talked many times virtually and I did all he recommended test-wise for me. But, one day, he just never called me back anymore. I’ve read...

I had communicated with Dr Berven and then he stopped calling one day. I’ve never heard from him since. He ordered many tests and I obtained all he asked for.

You have no idea how miserable I am. I have sooooo terrible pain. Nerve pain in both legs. Numb right foot. Falling plenty of times. Wakes me up at night. Plenty of nights I get no sleep because of...

Who are you seeing? I’m interested in someone to assist me with a revision surgery. Thanks so much.

Well, Linda, who did your revision surgery in 2011? Just got dumped by another dr today. I’m in terrible pain and no one wants to do anything to help me. I was talking with Dr in SannFrancisco but...

Hi there, what kind of problems did you have prior to revision? I’ve got soooo much pain back there. It’s hard to say where it hurts other than in the low back, which is where most of my metal...

Of those who had a full fusion, yup from top to bottom, have any undergone a revision/reconstruction surgery? Did it help? What did your dr find/do? Thank you for the info.

Anyone know anything about Dr. Berven, San Francisco, UCSF.
Thank you for the info.

I was told I couldn’t have a mri because all my metal made it all turn out black.

How did they determine hardware was infected?

I so appreciate everyone on here! We feel so alone sometimes ....just you and your pain! Every day. All day. It gets to be a lot, but we are strong and will remain so. Hopefully pain will just go...

Hello there. Please send me a Pm and I will discuss with you.

Good Day, I had surgery most recently by Dr Gupta in St. Louis after my initial rods broke from Dr Lenke. Dr Gupta insisted that he replace ALL of my hardware and I’ve never been the same since....
