Keep your head up I know what your going through. Talk to your pain management doctor if you have one if not get one. How long has it been? I know things get worse before getting better with surgery. I dont want to worry you but my surgery failed and I am way worse off now. This is the chance you must take to try to have a better life. As long as you have medical insurance at least you can get another surgery if needed. Remember thats a last resort just if this surgery didnt work. If it hasent been that long give it time. I know how terrible it is. Best wishes to you.
