I had neck bone fusion surgery in 1999, by 2001 I was back
in complaining of headaches. Was told it was stress,
recurring migraine headaches and given pain medications and
learn to live with it. It is now 2012 and I am still having
neck pain and headaches, Was told the same thing and also
that arthritis had settled in my neck. I was persistent in
getting further help. Many steps were taken to resolve the
pain issue, I finally met with a neurosurgeon whom
basically told me I was Doctor shopping for pain pills and
to keep shopping. After seeing my anger to that remark
decided to do a ct-scan. Results were that the fusion never
took and the top titanium screw is fractured in two places.
I am not a surgical candidate because of heart disease. Any
action available against the manufacturer of the titanium
screws?
