Actually the operation was in March 2023. My error. Waited a year to see top spine surgeon
here in NY, originally was to see him in 7-2023 but once he heard about prior surgery he office said come back in a year. Saw him for consultation 8-2024 about her a complete waste of our time he said virtually nothing about prior surgery and we left his office without any options by him.
Saw another supposed spine surgeon expert and this time he said go back to surgeon who did operation "I know him and he is a great guy" and he also said my office made a big mistake by
calling you in because if I had knw about failed 3-2023 operation I would have never called you in for a second opinion. Unfortunately spine surgery is a "big club" here in NY.

So I’m not the only one having trouble with surgeons. I had a failed back surgery L4-S1 April of 2023 surgeon won’t do anything I’ve seen 3 others they won’t either and now Mayo Clinic turned me down. I’m starting to feel like the surgeon screwed something up and the others see it. Severe leg burning , numbness, pain, stabbing, starting to go to the other leg. Bowel and bladder issues , testicular pain when I rub the tailbone. I can’t walk very far with a cane , I’m starting to use a Walker more . I’ve seen all Neurosurgeons my MRI shows a pinched nerve at L3 also mentions pseudo arthritis, I have spinal stenosis also. Pain doctor agreed I shouldn’t get a pain stimulator because there is something wrong. 🤷🏼♂️

i\I should add the following: The net result of" "operation" was that my wife now has SPONDYLOLISTHEIS never had before (xrays proof we have) and now the original doctor says "I can fix that with a new oblique operation." No thanks! Why another operation to fix a problem she never had before?
