My wife, Susan, had her 5th, 6th and 7th vertebrae fused July, 2005, with 2 replacement donor bone discs inserted at the same time. She has had continuous pain since the surgery in Amarillo, TX eventhough MRI's (three of them) allegedly reflect no problems with the surgery results. Do you have any suggestions or ideas as to what we should pursue in order to reduce or alleviate her pain?

She's had physical therapy, accupuncture and epidural steroidal injections (2 series on 7/7/06 and 7/14/06 of 2 injections each) in the affected area. These left her with tremors and she's taking medication for this problem

She is allergic to 98% of pain medications including the ...cets family, codeine, etc. Would botox help? We have a friend who had similar pain with her neck surgery results and has had no pain for over 2 years following botox injections. Are botox injections dangerous and involve an abnormal amount of risk?

Thank you very much for your response and God bless you
