@marcd2k do you mind sharing the name of the second surgeon? What did they offer in terms of relief? I have t1-t10 fused and i feel the rods in my back, i feel them heavy and like they are pulling me backwards... its been 5 months since my surgery and i feel like things aren't improving...

@laurica The second spine surgeon I had review my images and examine me is Dr. Luke Macyszyn. He was the one that told me he does not recommend further surgery, and that I needed either physical therapy or pain management or both. I went to the PT office he recommended, but unfortunately, after (6) visits, they had no answers. The co-owner of the PT office recommended a pain management doctor, but she wanted to try another epidural. I have already had three of them, and the third one back in February has caused me pain to this day, so epidurals are not on my radar any longer.
