What's your experience with Vertiflex Superion Implant?

Is there anyone out there that has had a good Vertiflex experience that fixed your pain? I am considering it for severe stenosis at L2/L3 but reluctantly. Alternative is live with the pain or do open back. I have developed "shopping cart syndrome" which is not pleasant.

I have a Vertiflex between L4 and L5 inserted on Dec 6 2021. ( I understood it is for cases of mild stenosis) It is working; my pain is minimal. However, I have since seen a spine specialist who said my pinched nerve could have been relieved by a minor surgical procedure. I chose Vertiflex before seeing the spine specialist thinking that any back surgery us risky and unpredictable. The spine specialist quote was "we do many minor procedures". On reflection if I had seen this doctor earlier would I have chosen his solution? The answer is probably a "Yes". I would suggest you see a spine specialist before you make your decision.
