Anyone had a interspinous process device (Minuteman) fusion procedure?

After nerve block, radio frequency, both sides, one si injection, bilateral hip bursa procedures, I had the minuteman lumbar surgery on Oct 10. It was the most painful procedure I have gone through with no improvement at all, in fact I feel I am worse off since the surgery.
The postop pain was agony, and I am still in discomfort all the time.
Both knees are giving me grief and I will probably need total replacements, but I doubt I could deal with both at this time.
Maybe I am just one of the unfortunate ones this does not work for.

I am also looking at this procedure and looking for any and all information from the people that have had it done. Your comments are very helpful and I thank you for your insight.
Can you tell me who and where you had this done? This will be for my sole use to decide if I get this done and by whom and where. For your information, I had both my knees done at HHS in New York because of their # 1 ranking according to USNews, and from all the helpful information I received from other patients that had it done before me. If you do send me any information, I thank you, and if not may GOD BLESS YOU.
