Ruptured disc surgery fuses wrong
In 1976 I had my back operated on (because I had a ruptured disk) and the doctor fused my back wrong. In 1978, a neurologist tried to fix it, but the damage was too extensive. I have had chronic pain every since. In order to perform at all I live on pain meds: Fentanyl patches and Tramadol.
