I had mine in Feb.2000...with pain everyday, mostly in the morning,on my right side,just recently got a hot tub which helps. I figure it's somethin we just haveta live with...Some days are worse than others,the surgery was so trematic, I'm about half afraid to go back.My limbs go numb, I have tried every sleeping position imaginable using pillows & whatnot..After the surg. I developed water in my eardrums, they placed tubes in my ears.I have limited movement in my neck & to add insult to injury put me on dis-abilty, I went into deep depression...any good news??? I am a 52 white female.I used my own bone, with 3 back surgeries prior to this I am not a whiner, just wanna stear clear of the knife!! Up till 1999 I was in excellent health.
