Lizann 45

I had epidurals approximately 3 weeks ago. felt great but they didn't last. My leg pain returned and is constant. Pain Dr is suggesting Mild procedure now. He is staying away from Minute Man procedure now as he says because of my osteoporosis of spine, he doesn't want to risk a fracture happening. Thoughts on having osteo and Vertiflex or minute man procedure having osteoporosis of spine?

Would you really trust spine surgery to a pain management guy.

Mine was pitching vertiflex hard to me...in spite of the fact that he told me I wasnt a good fit.

The research I did on vertiflex says you are considering a second rate solution installed by non-surgeon. Ask why mayo clinic doesnt support it

Dpend some time studying the data on Vertiflex. Doesnt look good to me.
Would you really have a non-surgeon do back surgery on you?
