@jenatsky I didn’t notice it until the doctor refused to even check me. I got the notes from his nurse who also agreed I should see someone else. Nothing was mentioned to me I was paying for the doctors expertise not her to practice on me ! After her telling me I could twist lift and bend at 4 weeks and that night after I showered I bent to dry my lower legs and had a burning in my back and the pain NEVER improved, it made me start thinking when my next follow up the surgeon says why you here and he never got me out of the wheelchair to even look at my back just said get a Spine stimulator , instead of checking what I told him was going on ( it’s no fun rubbing the tailbone and it goes straight to my testicles) only thing he said was no that’s Urological. Leaving me with this pain for a 1-1/2 . The pain doctor that was going to do the stimulator agreed somethings wrong and sent me to 2 other surgeons plus while in the ER I seen another one they all looked at the same MRI the surgeon had and said nothings wrong ,( not looking at my back either ) a few months went by and the pain doc gave me a referral to Mayo Clinic where they found a loose screw. At 52 years old I’ve lost my 29 year career can’t walk without 2 canes or a Walker , I can only go in a store if I’m dropped of at the door and there’s a scooter right inside the door otherwise I leave . The way they’ve all ignored checking to see about the problem makes me think they seen something and was afraid of the liability. I did get the stimulator I was 95% pain free before a lead moved during that time my bowels were functions normal , I wasn’t having testicle pain, I got to finally lay in my bed after 8 months instead of my recliner. I have other health issues I’m needing treated but they won’t until I get off the pain meds. Some reason the Surgeons reports on my chart disappeared so I can’t see them
