Your own doctors...: ...need to deal with this. Your issues are much too complex for clear answers from a distant online source like a HealthTap forum. Discuss with the doctors providing your care -- which must include a spine surgeon and probably a rheumatologist. Follow their advice. Good luck!

Need expert: I have to confess that I had not heard specifically of this product but a responsible review of internet reports suggests that some patients who received Optimesh by Spineology have subsequently had complications. Legal actions have ensued. I suggest you consult a Board Certified (in Neurosurgery or Orthopedic Surgery) surgeon who specializes in back care for review of entire situation. Good luck!
