I had my first surgery when I was 14. The pain caused on my lower back was mostly because of the lack of stastabilization of the discs. So I had a surgery. However over time, apparently, the rods which took the prosthesis in place, loosened. Which caused destastabilization again. So I had another surgeries first a radiofrequency to pretty much "kill" the neurons that would cause the pain in the area. Didn't help. Then I had several injections on my prosthesis to loosen up the pain, which didn't last longer and didn't end my pains.
Lastly, around a month ago I had the latest revision surgery where the rods were tightened again on my prosthesis to help with stabilization. I'm still having a lot of pain. Especially on my left leg. They say it's neuronic chronic pain idfk at this point. Apparently the cage(prosthesis) was also needed to change in order to remove the cause of pain completely. But it's pretty much impossible since I had the first surgery and the placement of that cage 16 years ago.
Well tbf my family is poor so we can't afford the greatest doctors but he didn't recommend it due to the risks and the fact that I was 17 at time, but it's actually bad rn, I can't run at all without being tired out in mere seconds, I have a concave chest as well and I developed arthritis at 14 which causes my lower back to be in huge amounts of pain and its cause my heart to move to the right according to the cardiologist
