I did fine the first few months after surgery, then went back to work (dentistry). Within a couple months of that, all my original problems returned - along with some new ones. Been on total disability for several years now. I really think I went back to work too soon. I've been getting around 15 trigger point injections in my neck and back every 3 weeks for over 5 years now. I've seen x-rays of my hardware, and it all looks perfect. Screw alignment and everything looks perfect.

I fought chronic back and leg pain for over 20 years and finally gave in and had my L-5 S-1 fused. It was the best move I ever made and now I only have to deal with occasional low back pain. Dr. Thomas Donner (an LSU grad) did the surgery in Thibodaux and I would highly recommend getting a second opinion from him.

I'd let the folks at the Laser Spinal Institute down in Florida have a shot at things first if you insurance will pay for it. Had a good friend who went down there and they did very well with him. He went down on a Monday, procedure done Tuesday, tweak procedure done Wednesday, then checked out and came back home Thursday. Been doing well ever since. Was about 18 mos ago.
