Hi sandy,
I am asking the same problems at the moment!
I have a fantastic surgeon over here in the uk, hes one of the best and most experienced with ADR & Fusion techniques in the country, but Im still here needing revision surgery for both my fusion and my disc replacement, both of which had given me hope, both of which have made things worse! And I really think that in my case its been very bad luck, My prodisc is perfectly placed and yet in a very short amount of time it has caused terrible problems in my facet joints.
My fusion problems are more down to the fact that due to being congenitally fused below the surgical fusion site, I remain Hypermobile so the fusion will not set and leaves the hardwear at risk, i dont think that this could have been foreseen, maybe it could?
Im shocked to have found so many people who are also need revision surgery, and my heart goes out to everyone, its awful that your hopes for the surgery working can be very quickly shattered and then you realise that there are many more problems ahead. It Sucks!!
warmest wishes
sarah
