What's your experience with Vertiflex Superion Implant?

Each day it seems better. I go to the drs. in a couple of days to get the stitches out. There is no new pain except for the rib cage area is still very sore. I was told it could be the nerves just getting used to this procedure. I will post an update after the 17th. However, I do think there is an improvement but I am still taking 2 Tylenol PM's and 2 gabapentin 100mg at night in order to sleep. And, am trying to not take anything during the day. I have not been able to test my walking due to weather but plan to start that up soon.

My stitches are out now and I do not go back to the doctor for 3 months. He did not have an explanation for my rib cage discomfort and said no one has ever complained about that. ( However, the pain has almost subsided). He said my stenosis was the worst in all his patients and that it will take me a few months to feel relief. I already do notice some improvement. I am starting physical therapy next week. I never explained to you that I have had 2 laminectomies and fusions in the past and due to scar tissue another operation is not suggested. Our weather has improved and I plan to get more walking in and I will keep you posted on that.
