One thing the surgeon that put the Vertiflex and Stimulator in has told me that he will be going into my back again. He wanted me to go to PT/MT for a couple of reasons. He was confident that between the two it would help reduce my pain levels. The other reason was we have discussed a pain pump for my lower back pain. He told me that several things were necessary for him to put me into a trial for it. Go see a mental health provider that specializes in pain management. Which I am doing. Go to PT/MT to rule out the need for more cutting. He has also told me that at some point I will need to have a second Vertiflex put in, he just did not feel it was necessary yet.
