Hi
My partner had PLIF in feb 2009, unfortunately it was unsuccessful and no fusion has taken place.
She is in constant pain. She cannot walk very well and regularly falls She has been given the option of having the hardware removed and PLIF attempted again but obviously there are significant risks involved.
I am absolutely terrified that she will end up in a far worse condition than she is already in. However this is probably her best chance of getting fixed as she is in an excellent hospital with an excellent surgeon.
I am really worried about the effects of all the pain killers she is having to take to cope with the pain she is in so rejecting surgery is not really an option long term either.
Any help most welcome!!
