Has anyone ever broke any instrumentation in their back? This is my second time, but the first time didn’t hurt so much. This time I am in severe, excruciating pain. I can hardly walk, and I am unable to lie down in bed. I am either sitting or standing 24/7. I have an appt with my Pain Management’s nurse practitioner on Tues. and an appt on Thurs. with a Neuro Surgeon. However I think they will have to send me to a larger city for the surgery. TIA
