Sorry about that, but really keep the meds up, don't let the pain get too bad before you hit it. Palexia is what I take, but don't think you can get it in Thailand. I had my op on Monday and out of hospital Thursday and flying to our house over here now, at the airport. I broke both my steel rods in my back so dr installed different material (more flexible) and thicker rods and screws plus 3 rods. Also removed L5S1 fusion and installed a stronger cage. I would get another opinion if possible. It's a difficult decision. You can always install pain management and remove it if it does not work...I did that long time ago. The new generation Spinal Chord Stimulators are supposed to be good. I don't know but you need to have confidence in your surgeon. Sorry not much help. :(
