That sounds like a failed surgery to me.
Not quite. The pain is far less now than it was. Before the surgery even with the multitude of drugs she couldn’t even get out of bed. Now with the right pain management (meaning she gets the drugs she needs) she can live a relatively “normal” life. The surgeon made us quite aware of this risk before the surgery and we went ahead with this knowledge. The problem with the nerve is that it was damaged, so there’s nothing they can do to fix it.

It stinks, but this is far from atypical. Once you start messing with the back it’s all downhill from there- or at least that’s what I’ve been told.
