Anastasia,
I came across your website a year ago in many way's I felt as I was reading my own website althought I don't have one. I too have had surgery from Bertagnoli with very questionable results and no follow care. I also am left in a maze of hell without care trying to find someone who can figure out the mess. Would love to speak with you at some point, I live in PA but have travelled far in wide to find help and thank fully have pain management keeping the little engine that could running (sometimes). My heart goes out to you in so many ways,I too was very young 26 when my nightmare started so I feel the LOSS it's indescribable. The trust chrused not many people even get it. The doctors tell us what they want us to know (You'll be as good as new) blah,blah,blah. Very technical!!! I would like to speak with you by email I saw you on some ADR support websites but did'nt see contact info so I'm giving this a chance. Please contact me if you feel up to it my email is kradamski@yahoo.com i really would like to speak with you.Thanks and hang in

Thank you for your post Pam.
All I hope for is that people would stop, think, research, and not just blindly read doctors web pages successes (and I mean ANY doctor here). No one doctor puts devastating outcomes from their procedures on their web pages, its given. BUT not everyone will leave a patient with no help to lie down in bed for a year in debilitating pain, saying that the surgery was done fine, while other top surgeons saying that the patient was not a candidate for a procedure, needed a revision and an official investigation from German independent doctors stated that it was indeed a grave error. Now that my life is ruined, I have nothing else to do but research this stuff. The more I read, the more I am about to pass out in disbelief. You only read a small part of the story here. You can find more on http://www.spinesupport.org/simplemachinesforum/ in the section "Research Lab, Library". My best wishes.

Thanks for your story. Coincidentally, I am thinking of having facet replacement and the Doctor is Dr. Bertagnoli. Believe me I am rethinking my decision. He now has a practice in L.A.

Hi H/T ! "SpineTalk" is not dead but apparently people dont want to post their stories. The forum is supposed to be self perpetuating, i.e. no pushers or promoters into "desired" direction or medical device product. All the others, that i know of, are promoting certain doctors and devices. This one was made from people banned from the other forums - for being failures, or for objecting to the bias.

Sorry, its true - I did kind of disappear from the net and all boards after my Prodisc revision. It was a hard one...really hard, and I had no desire to "talk". I WILL be posting on forums now (until i get booted again!). Your story is absolutely heart breaking and I am thinking about your post often...I hope so much that somehow, things will improve....Well, I hope to "see" you in a virtual world - hang in there.
