Hi Maria,

Thank you for you considerate response. I take Opana-ER for pain. I have found a pain management specialist that is very good at addressing my pain issues.

I find that I get to get over my apprehension of additional surgery and take control over whatever I have over my current situation. Attitude is everything, and I will have to be more proactive. I will be contacting Dr. Bertagnoli for his input. I just submitted my 9-year follow-up films to his practice.

I hope you are doing well and that your spine issues stay calm. Also, I have found the knee replacement web site that you recommended to me very helpful. Thank you!
