I had cervical disk removed/fusion in1996. Relief lasted a few(?) years and then returned and returned........after injections/nerve burnings/ epiderals(sic).
Relief lasts about two years. MD says nerves rejuvenate and creat the problem over and over.
I exist on 4 / 5 7.5 vicodin a day + depression meds etc.
Am scheduled for another round of injections on the 13th. This will be the 9TH time. !!
Apparently this will be my life until I die. At least I CAN get some relief, if only temporary.View Thread
