Hi bernese53,
I did go to Florida in 2023 but I was in a much better condition before Dr Deuk's surgery.

I had proper head tilt back even though I had neck pain.
After laser surgery my neck has been deteriorating.

It's been nearly 12 month since the laser operation and the C5-T1 rhizothomies and I am finding it hard to walk, do things like before,

The pain is extreme despite me taking some opioids, anti-inflammatories.
I feel the sharp pain to the sides of my neck at the rear.

I halso have pain caused my cramping muscles, I can feel hard knots in the my rear neck muscles. I am geting neuropathy, pins and needles of my feet and toes, calf muscles pain. I do not have diabetes.

Sleep is nearly impossible, walking is hard, sitting is difficult.
After the Deukspine laser surgery I am $72000 USD poorer with a lot more complications than before. I wish that I never went there, I got butchered by the neurosurgeon.

I do not think that I could fly to the US again considering it took 3 flights totalling 33 hours to get to Melbourne Florida.

The pain is too much than before the neck surgery.

The removal of disc material probably destabilised my neck.

I don't have the money anymore. My pension is just $1100 USD per month.

Unfortunately this is my situation.

Best regards

Alfred
