What's your experience with Vertiflex Superion Implant?

Thank you for your post regarding the implant you had performed in 2018. If you wouldn't mind sharing with me and other readers if you were diagnosed as "moderate" or "severe" spinal stenosis prior to your decision to have the procedure done would be helpful to me. It seems that some of the posters on this forum were diagnosed as "severe" spinal stenosis and some have had lamectamy surgery. I do not fall into either of these categories, however, I do have MILD scoliosis in my upper lumbar spine and my MRI catagorized my stenosis in the lower spine as mild to severe in the lumbar 4.

I have severe stenosis . My implants worked for a couple of yrs but stenosis isn’t the only problem I have I need rods in my bank and I think that hurts me more than the stenosis I have to wear a brace all the time because my back isn’t strong enough to hold my back up . If there’s anything else you want to know just message me . Oh and by the way I read that if you have severe stenosis it really doesn’t work with the implants .I think there’s a group on Facebook that talks about the implants , right now I’ve forgotten what their called but if you have FB just type in search bar the name of the implants and it will be interesting to look at if they worked for people
