This site is dedicated to anyone who's life has been affected by Pedicle Screws.Thousands of these surgeries are performed in America every year, the fortunate ones improve, others are "screw'd."
With
the help of my friends at
the Pedicle Screw list, we are putting
together this information to help educate and
inform the public about these screws. Most
of us believe that our side of the screw
issue should be told. Things like informed
consent and Off-label
were never explained to most of us. Nor were other options.
We now
suffer relentless
pain, moving metal and shared side effects,
so we continue to look for answers
in a confusing world of medical jargon. The
statistical reports show a success rate
between 78 and 90%. Can we trust
these stats? We are only after the truth! So
we keep searching and along the way we share
our
knowledge and experiences and become
empowered.
We offer you our own experiences. If there is ever to be a unbiased study about these screws, our voices must be heard. Our lives may have been ruined, but our spirit remains.
