re your post
I think I remember you posting a question of the possibility of Parkinson's related to a disc implantation a while back.. ? I am really sorry to read that the chronic pain might be related to the disc implant or that you developed Parkinsons either as a consequence or no consequence or relation to the disc implant.. I guess that is one that is up for grabs so to speak.
In terms of the advertisement or commercial you made endorsing the product or the facility/surgeon (not sure what all is included) what about all your records leading up to the surgery... wouldn't the documentation of lack of pain be really evident there (providing there was no change in documentation that you aren't aware of) vs what you were coached to say post the surgery? All sounds quite unethical to me..
My father had an intention tremor in his right hand for about 40 years.. my brother started with the same nearly 20 years ago (he is 65 now) but the tremors never progressed to anywhere else in the body with my father and he didn't develop any back pain until he was in a MVA at age 87 and fractured a vertebrae.
Lastly have you tried Medical Marijuana for symptoms.. and I'm just throwing this out there as I've not tried it myself though have many friends in my age category (60's and 70's) that are utilizing it for pain management as well as to help with other concerns.
Ok I'm sorry to read what you've wrote and wish there were some better answers out there for you or at least something to help with the deterioration and weakness if not the pain as well. Please keep us posted.
