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.
