You are not alone. Depression due to chronic pain and loss of function and quality of life is to be expected and you are so young. My hope is you have a support system and are getting therapy from someone who specializes in mental health tied to chronic pain/illness that affects quality of life.

Thanks for responding! Yes I have a great family support system that fully understands what im going through. Yes my initial spinal cord injury was from a work injury. Not sure why my initial fusion failed. My next MRI is next saturday and I will update you on the results. I agree with you that I am having adjacent level problems due to C3-4 and 6-7 having issues now. I am seeing a new neurosurgeon in november so hopefully they will be able to help more than the last ones! And that is great advice about the therapist who specializes in mental health and chronic pain, I will be looking into that! Thanks again!!
