After 5 years,everything is pretty stable apart from a little right sided pain at the bottom of my spine,knocked all the space monkey pain killers off too,although I take a low dosage of duloxitine.
I do have increased bone growth over the (Activ L) implants, which was apparent after my last x-rays in Feb 2016, Shack has "never seen bone growth like it" but wasn't too concerned and reckons that my spine will "auto fuse" over time.
Seeing him in Feb 18 so we will see how much more bone has covered the implants and go from there.
Maybe that's why I have a little more pain-but no where near where it was prior to my op.
Good luck.
Regards,
Jonathon
