Angry Big Problems

I had my spine fused at the 4th and 5th, they used a cage and plates with screws. My problem is severe pain, movement in my back, and it pops ( the plates) Just got x-rays and a CT scan and I have a crack screw on the lower right, How does this happen? and to top it off my NS thinks the bone graft didnt take. What am I supposed to do, I cant afford to be off work for 3 or more months, I just did it last year and still have'nt recovered financially. My first thought is to get a lawyer and a second opinion at the Mayo Clinic. I really hate lawyers and dont want to sue anyone, but how does a screw break, bonegraft not take and who knows what else, even happen. Please help, I just want some other insight.
