I am so sorry..but find someone to help u and keep looking til u do..i had a surgery to may neck that i wish i had never done and have regretted it ever since i did it...now i am having inflammation round the plates.etc...and i wish they could rip it all out..and hoping maybe one day they will...now bone has grown around the hardware so it will be a difficult surgery to say the least...the area is fused so the hardware has no need to be there anymore...i wished i had just gone thru the pain and let them fuse naturally..but what is done is done..and u must move forward and do the best u can..find the best dr u can that understands ur pain and who will work with u...dont give up!

Hi Corynel,

I am sorry to hear about all your post-op problems. Welcome to the Pain Management Forum.

I am glad you are going to Mayo. They are a wonderful clinic and do awesome things. I am sorry that I don't have any answers for you. Maybe one of our members will have some personal experience. I have seen some posts in the past with a similar issue.

Please keep in touch and let us know how you are doing. I will be interested to hear what Mayo can do for you. Best of luck to you.
