What's your experience with Vertiflex Superion Implant?

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

Hi Paula - thank you so much for replying. I’m so sorry the Vertiflex didn’t work for you. We, who are in pain 24/7, willing to try what we can to relieve the pain. Seeing this was minimal invasive I went for it. I’m better than I was but still experiencing the tightness in the back and pain. I want to bend so bad to stretching my back but of course can’t do that. Its been 3 weeks I had the procedure done. I tried everything before the Vertiflex - injections, RFA - tried each twice to no relief. That’s why I did the Vertiflex. I’m experiencing a lot of tightness in my lower back. And stiffness which causes pain.
I wish you luck today. Pray it works for you. Please let me know how you are doing. 🤗
