Pain clinics are not the know all / be all to relieve pain. I had been to two different specialists...with no positive effects. The trigger point injections, epidurals, and radio frequency were no help...and were extremely expensive. Rootsgal, you are right...you have to be your own advocate for your personal health. Fortuantelly, the cervical surgery has helped me. I am four weeks post-op and slowly getting back to my routine. In fact, today I'll swim for the first time in months...very carefully though.

Sorry but most of you had the wrong surgeon.
RIC VA had the best. I had c5 6&7 w titanium plate. Relief was immediate and I am doing great three weeks out.
Walk two miles each day and drove last week!

I am another person that had two fushions, the first in 2002.. I am allergic to jewelry and titanium and they finally removed it when my toes were turning green five years after surgery... The second fushion I had the doctor put it back into my body in 2012 and even though I had an allergy bracelet on stating my allergy to it and still nobody will help me...
