What's your experience with Vertiflex Superion Implant?

I went to the doctor the other day and am reporting as promised the outcome. As I said getting up in the morning has improved, It used to be a nightmare pulling myself together. I have an appointment to get a facet shot week after next. He claims that sometimes the shots work better after the veriflex procedure. I am still taking Advil in the morning, as that is my greatest help getting started in the a.m. By the way, I still have three more weeks to heal my back. It says not to bend or twist for six. My back still hurts somewhat. I thought maybe it would help my numb foot, but it did not work for that. As I said I am going to a foot specialist this coming Tuesday. For whatever reason, he only put one implant. I did not know that they put more in. I hope I answered your questions best as I can. Feel free to contact me and give me information as well. I don't know anyone that did this. Thanx

Please let me know how the facet shots worked. I'm still in pain after 8 weeks. Thanks

Hi, I'm researching this for myself, and I can identify with your pain, especially upon waking, due to steroid injections my life has been in bed, and I beg anyone considering steroid injections to avoid it with your life!.

Even though I was in chronic pain for years, I could still lift weights, walk, and dance with pain pills and take care of myself, now alone in bed it takes all of the courage in the world to get dressed Taking a shower is now weekly due to the pain sitting on a stool, and having to shave my legs. Dang, how can you live life without bending after this procedure?

If I wasn't alone in life, it would be so much easier. I beg anyone who's doctor is talking to about steroid injections please don't do it.

I appreciate the input that you have given me on the Vertiflex procedure. God Bless and heal you...Belinda
