Successful Vertebroplasty Surgery

Written by Melissa Waller on August 24, 2009 - 9:39am

Yesterday I finally had the vertebroplasty surgery on my back. I am happy to say that it was successful and can already feel some pain relief! The area that they worked on was the T5 part of my vertebrae and I am pretty sore in that area. I’m just glad that it’s all over with for now. I believe this will be my 4th vertebroplasty…pretty soon my whole back will be cemented.
