Question
oldman273
Hello I am SC for Back problems Nerve damage and recnetly had surgery (implant of nerve stimulator) I was wondering if I did it on a outpatient status I was under no lifting for 3 weeks anything larger than 1 gallon of milk and about 6 more weeks of guarded restrictions. I had this done at a civillian hospital.
I also had this done not to go through the 6 hour surgery that the VA Nuero advised me I could try this instead of having 3 disc replaced and bars, screws and fusion. Well it did not work out like we had planned now I am scheduled for surgery at Charleston in May of this year unless my other civillian Nuero surgeon says it is not wise. Anyone got any ideas if the one surgery would grant my the temporary convo rate for the first surgery? I am 80% now but since my back got worse 2 years ago nothing but denials from the VA to even examine my back. I was told that since I put in for IU and it was denied once to go ahead and get another opinion with a civillian surgeon. I cannot walk without canes as I cannot put any pressure on my back without pain. Any ideas please let me know. I am sick of this pain and the morphine makes me so sleepy I dare not take it and drive a DUI is about all I need right now. Adios..
