With over 130 members, we think that we represent another side to the use of pedicle screws in the spine. The side-effects from the use of these screws are many and shared by the majority of our members. Shunned by the legal AND medical profession, we only ask that further studies be done to give us an unbiased and straight forward answer to our questions. We have the right to know what our future holds, we only seek the truth.

I am honestly overwhelmed by how many people have come forward to share stories that have been ignored for so long. This momentum belongs entirely to you because you were brave enough to speak up when others chose to look away.

I recall the original pedicle screw'd site. The site was run by a man out of Williamsburg, VA.

Spent 20k on a fusion and now I cant even sit through a movie. Why is there no oversight on these implants?

THESE SCREWS ARE RUINING LIVES. nobody listens until your walking with a cane at 40. we need real science not just what the companies say.

Glad to see people finally talking about this. Was told the pain would stop but it just gets worse every year.

Does anyone know if the titanium ones are causing the same issues? I keep getting these crazy rashes and my surgeon acts like I dont exist.

Dear Jon, would you happen to know who the man was in VA. We've had this Web page since 1995 then switched it to Www.pediclescrews.com I would love to see if that man still has that Web page.
