Having Extrafemoral decompression and noninstrumented facet  fusion.

I am aware noninstrumented facet fusion refers to no plates or screws. Only found very little info on line.

What does it consists of?

Told I will be going home a few hours after the surgery.

I am in allot of pain and unbearable. Throbbing pain on my coxycs, pulsing pain down the sides of both legs with numbness all the way to my left foot.

I still refuse to take Vicodin every 6 to six tablets. Only one in the AM and one at night with Lyrica and Ibuprofen inbetween.  Son recover addict going on 5 yearssmile

Thank you

Ana
