Within 10 months I have had 2 fusions done, lower first, 10 month later the ct. and bone scan w/contrast found 3 more fractures, so I was fused again, I only have 1 l left, it has been 8 weeks in more pain now taking more meds then before 1 st. fused, why waiting for yet another MRI to see what is going on, I only have been walking not to much, cannot sleep w/zanex, I am so afraid that I am going to go into liver failure or something, the only thing wrong with me is my back, also lost so much weight...I take 2 Norco every 4 hours around the clock, I have tried to cut back to see how the pain was, did I pay for that after 2 days, I know the pain is so real, I do not want to take anything stronger, I like to be alert and be normal. I do not want drugs that is not an answer for me nor do I want more surgery ever.... I am 62, I want a life. Please do you have any answers, I loved my surgeon but now I have doubts about him, I just want to be who I was, this has taken 2 years of my life.....
