Well, i'm afraid it is almost as bad now compared to presurgury, it's even more disabling. But it's only my right half of my back, the left side is perfectly fine. This type of pain feels more muscular/skeletal type of pain rather than nerve pain. I guess comparing the two, this type pain is preferable to nerve pain as I can handle it better, but both are disabling. I hope this clears up once the ADR is removed.

9/22/09 -Dr B opened me up to find a staph infection was eating my vertebrae causing ADR subsidence. Had to remove all 3 ADR's and convert to 3 level fusion. Mostly pain free 2 weeks post op.
9/20/10 - I think I jinxed myself. As soon as I told dr b and dr Sullivan I was doing well (on 6/1/10) I tanked and have experienced the return of pain. My neuro says the new pain is at t4.
