currently I take Percocet 10/325 up to 4 times daily XXXXXXX when needed for spasming. effexor xr 2 37.5 and multiple vitamins. I had to have the hardware removed because I had two ounces of poisonous fluid surrounding my spinal column and the bone growth stimulator started pushing its way out of my back. I do have a lead that the Dr said he "couldn't find it" . my symptoms are I'm always tired and feel overall Ill. I sweat a lot and run a low grade fever off and on. I've had kidney stones since the surgery and I loose feeling to both of my legs multiple times a day. I have ddd and spinal stenosis. three discs above the fusion are starting to bulge. my thyroid was fine to my knowledge and I had gestational diabetes but have since lost over 100 lbs.
