[zocoma]

The initial xrays indicate the prodisc-c is properly placed. I will have flexion and extension images made next week. Other people have told me that 6 months is still early, but the endless pain is rough. I am in somewhat better shape that before and right after surgery, but thought I would be "well" by now. The changing weather seems to make the pain much worse. PT was helping but workers comp denied my last prescription and instead wants to send me to another group that is too far for me to drive. I am managing to make it through work but still not back to full hours and come home and collapse into bed most nights. I was so desperate for relief and my doctor was highly recommended. They say the surgery was successful even though I remain in pain. Dustin, Rudy, I'll be praying you get some relief.
