Well, starting about 3 weeks ago, my back pain issues came back full force. : (
I was so pain free for so many months that I thought that maybe I was resolved. Not to be. : ( Well, I'll just have to hope I have good months mixed in with the bad.

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.

Steve, sorry to hear that you have backslid. (is that a word?) Hopefully you'll discover what I have about better times. Being better does not mean that you will not have episodic problems. But, if you can say that the good times are better than they used to be, the bad times are not as bad, you have longer periods of good, and recover quicker from the bad times; then things are much better than before. With any luck, you'll bounce back quicker than you think.
Call my cell phone if you want to talk... it's been a while since we've caught up. All the best, Mark
