What's your experience with Vertiflex Superion Implant?

Posted by esperanza22 @esperanza22, Jul 27, 2020

Has anyone had the Veriflex Superion implant. I had it and it did not seem to work for me. Would appreciate any one that has information. Thanks

Hi Lorirenee1
Thanks you for your input. He is going to call the company and see what they say. I don't want anymore surgery, probably in time lI would like to take it out.
My cousin goes to a doctor in Weil Cornell and I will make an appointment with him as he does those implants and would like to speak with him. Thank you and good luck to you. Wish I knew someone else that had it, but I don't.

It looks like I want even meet him until the day of surgery every time I’ve been there I see the PA ... I did read or watched on Utube that there are different sizes of those implants so I’m wondering if he just didn’t put the right size for you . If my Doctor ever had that to happened to him he probably wouldn’t tell me my day is Sept 9 so I’ll let you know how it goes. Are you seeing another Pain Doctor ?

Hi,
No I have not had time to see another doctor, I am still involved finding out what happened. As I said I just got the cat scan.
Not minding your business, but I find it strange not to have met the doctor. Does he come highly recommended? How many is he putting in?

Hi ... was wondering how you’re doing and what is happening with you I had my surgery on the 4 th it was pretty painful the first 3 days but I’m getting a lot better now I go back in there this coming Thursday

Hi,
So happy to hear from you and that u are doing well. How many did u have put in?
I went back after my cat scan and he showed me my scan and it is not in place. I don't have to get it out, thank goodness. I could not do more surgery!
I am not doing too bad, I am back to what I was. All that for nothing. Please let me know how u are.
Thanx

Hi it’s been 7 days since surgery went back yesterday for checkup they took bandage off I saw P.A. again when I went in for surgery I was pretty much out of it but I remember someone introduced me to the Dr but but when I came to they dismissed me gave me piece of paper with all the do’s and don’t’s ... I haven’t moved around much at home it tired me out to be up to much . I have never asked the P.A. if they have ever had anybody to have one come lose when I went back yesterday I forgot to ask but I also forgot to ask some other questions I go back in a month so I’ve already started a list of questions by writing them down I’m not sure she would tell me the truth on that question anyway but I’ve got it in my list for next time. If yours is in the wrong place I guess it’s not helping you at all they put 2 in me but I needed 3 but Medicare won’t pay for it you know ? It’s like Medicare will pay for half for what you need with anything but you can go back later and get the rest of whatever and they will pay why don’t they just go ahead and pay the first time around and be done with it ? Anyway I’m sorry you had to go through all that and end up right back to where you were I hope that doesn’t happen to me well let me know if you make anymore plans and I’ll get back with you after my next time I go in which is a month praying for you and me both 🙏

This is a pain clinic here in Amarillo Tx that I had never been to that I didn’t actually get to talk to the Dr on my first visit and I never did talk to him so I just don’t know if he’s that busy or not I would assume he is .. He has a really good PA that sees all the patients she seems to know all that’s going on with your back after she sees the MRI and exrays so the Dr is over in a different part of the building where he does all his surgeries and whatever else he does so yeah I’m like you it was a first for me too to not see him
