Yes Maria, I am familiar with your case and I was worried that it was the decompression that I had when the dynesys was put in that could have been causing the problems but it appears that wasn't the case. I took a leap of faith since my surgeon offered no guidance. I've done more research on the dynesys than you can imagine and talked to so many other dynesys folks around the world with problems that don't show up on any test.

Back pain has been pretty tough and I'll know as time goes by how much is surgical. The back pain is trending better but I'll tell, it has been rough. I've had some really sharp pains that then cause my back to flex up. I'll soon be unde the care of someone else but don't plan on any surgeries anytime soon unless something happens. My mom is elderly and needs my help. These back problems don't occur in vacuums.

I'm off the Lyrica completely.
