What does that mean for you? Do they have to do another surgery to correct it?

Yeah that's what he wants to do but I am really not looking forward to that. This has been just a miserable time for me I have been in pain the whole 8 months got fired from my job lost my insurance

I am so sorry to hear that! I can't even imagine what you are going thru. You reached a good support group here for sure. That is a long time to go thru so much pain. Is the same dr doing the surgery?
