This so sounds like my story. Same surgery but I had fusion from T5 to S1. My doc said I can do no more for you. Just found out by new imaging this week and don't know where to turn for honest answers

Know what you mean. I keep getting worse....pain killers have no effect anymore. Mayo Neurology in Rochester recently declined to see me.

@jenniferhunter has some experience and may be able to offer some suggestions for you for finding some help. I'm not sure if it's an option for you, but Mayo Clinic would be a great choice for a second opinion and treatment. If you would like get a second opinion from Mayo Clinic, you can find the contact information for the Minnesota, Arizona and Florida campuses here http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63.
