Surgeons in North Carolina

[Guest guest]

 

Hi,

My name is Livvie and I have been part of this group for several years. 

Occassionaly

making a comment or asking a question, but mostly just gather information from

the

posts of others.  My daughter has had 4 de-tethering surguries and is

symptomatic

again, and has been almost since she left the hospital from her last surgery. 

Her neurosugeon at Duke has said they have done everything they can do to help

her

and unless she shows neurological decline, further surgeries are not advised. 

I personally would hate to see her have more surgeries.  But, surely there is

something

that can be done to releive her pain.  I would love to have a second opinion

before we

accept this and give up on being somewhat pain free without strong meds. 

Anybody have any experiences with any Dr.'s in North Carolina other than Duke

hospital? 

I would love some feedback.

Thanks,

Livvie
