My fear is having to go out of town 8 hours away for surgery and getting home in a fragile state days...

    Hello , I was able to get a second opinion in another city and the doctors confirmed he overcorrected the alignment and it’s not in my head . He also stated there’s more complications with revisions . I hope this has happened to someone else and they have corrected it successfully with a revision .
