Has anyone had an xstop? With everything I read about it, it sounded like a miracle, they place titanium between the spinous portion and don't have to remove anything from the disc and doesn't bother the nerves.

Now if I stand for minutes the pressure is so bad and now my knees and lower legs are painful. I feel like I weigh 200 pds. A kid ran a red light in 2002 and t-bone...
