Still dealing with pain and trauma, not to mention the bill!

Wow, where to begin. While the in office staff was very kind, my experience was a literal nightmare. Let me try to summarize all the discrepancies between what I was told vs what I experienced.They tell you that your down time will vary, but you should be back to normal activity in a week. 8 months later I still have a number of shooting nerve pains that will stop me in my tracks. I don't think I fully understood the implications of what being awake for this procedure would be. The discomfort was so intense, and pain so sharp, they gave me more meds while I actively had surgical tools inside my body. These were not IV meds but oral, so it took a while for them to make any impact on my pain. I still have nightmares about being on the ice cold table in that ice cold room, being told to roll over so they could work on my back.I was never warned about the numbness lasting between weeks and months. In fact, the numbness was never mentioned until after the surgery. I hated this feeling most of all. For me it lasted nearly 3 months.The nerve reattachment was also much more intense than anyone mentioned. I feel like no one said anything about this until AFTER the proceedure and I was complaining and told it was normal.I have had no change in measurements, and my weight actually went up, because my incision sites (despite being told that they were healing perfectly) were so very painful, I was in bed for nearly 3 months after the procedure. The idea of working out was so far beyond the possibilities of what my body could handle, I gained weight. So here I am, 8 months later.... still paying off this insane debt for a traumatizing nightmare that did nothing to change my body in a positive way. Devastated is just the tip of the iceberg. I will never reccomend this service and will always warn people. If I had known about the likelyhood of this, I would never have wasted the money.
