Back Surgert

Back Surgert

My husband has a c6, c7 dislocation. Been managing with medication (lortab and flexeril) but still in pain. Meeting with the neurosurgeon on the 23rd of May. Has anyone had the surgery? He hates living on medication and expensive without insurance...

Hi there.

Any surgery to the spine carries some risk and this should be discussed with the doctors.  Some risks include infection at the operative site and aggravation of symptoms of pain during the recovery and healing process.  Also, the benefit of pain relief from the procedure may not be that absolute or complete after the surgery and this also should be well discussed.  I hope your husband can be rid of this pain soon, and that any form of surgery will be as uneventful as possible.  Regards and God bless.
