Hi - I’m new to this group. Had the Vertiflex procedure done 2 weeks ago. Still in discomfort especially on right side. I wanted to ask - how are you doing now a year after your procedure? Pain? Feeling any better now? Thank you.

Has your surgeon or care team offerred any suggestions to help with the discomfort on your right side?

Well, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I got little to no relief. It has been over a year and the pain has never gone away. I am going in today for Radiofrequency Neurotomy. I am hopeful this will work. Sadly I have a dr. that to say the least is not very kind, but at this point I have to keep trying. I hope it works for you. Be cautious of them prescribing gabapentin. I was and I had some negative experiences. I am sure it is different for everyone. I will check back in tomorrow - my surgerey is at 3:00 EST today - wish me luck

I had vertiflex at l2/l3 in June 2022. Neutral impact. Hopefully it will prevent further deterioration over time. Still have "shopping cart syndrome" and some leg pain in both legs after moderate nights sleep.
