Default Two Level Coflex Surgery Update

Hi All

I am in worse shape after surgery I am still suffering Wake up every day with lots of low back pain seems to get better after I begin to move around, Lots of numbness in my left leg some nerve issues in my right leg.Tinging in my groin. Twitching fingers in my left hand this is new I hope it is from my neck and not something worse Limited to activity some driving, walking P.T. two to three times a week with very little help. I am worse after one year from surgery. Now I may need more surgery Three to Four level fusion But what do I know? My surgeon seems to think that my spine if terrible and would rather see me just go away. I could go on but I am trying to figure this one out. The bills are huge and so are the credit cards My 12 year old is fustrated to see his father unable to do much never mind what the wife is going through at least she is still with me. If we had some finances I could move on. Should of listen to Mark just could not afford it
