How are you doing? I just cancelled my vertiflex for L4,5 today because my gut feeling tells me that with all the other issues, I am just going to open a pandora box that will never close again. Stuck between a rock and a hard place. Trying to go back to work for light duty as meds are tamping down the worst of it. Yet in past 2yrs. I have been 100% incapacitated every few months. yet my good days, I look forward to and feel like I should keep fighting to wait for AI and robotics industry to finally bring back surgery into a new era. If they can build exoskeletons, humanoid robotics. then they should be close to having fully functional spine replacements.
