Re: Re: [/ The Neurosurgeon Should Have Been Your Doctor!

I never knew the difference between orthapedic and neurosurgeon till

lately, but its too late now. I had an orthapedic surgeon do all 3 of my

back surgeries and it still hurts terribly. I'm not saying he's bad or

anything, he just has no idea why I'm still hurting and was starting to act

as if the pain was all in my head. Technically... it is, lol cause the

pain signals are being sent there but the pain is real and I can't stand

it. I black out sometimes cause its so intense. I've been referred to a

neurosurgeon now but I can't and won't get cut again. Maybe at least he

can do something to help me deal with the pain.

Hello group,

For my fusions I had 2 doctors. A Neuro and a Ortho. They both have their

own specialities which come into play for fusions. For my lamenectomies and

disc relate surgeries it has always been a Neurosurgeon, after all they are

dealing with your central nervous system when doing spinal surgery.
