You have to coorrelate symptoms with pathology to understand what needs to be addressed. See the section under “How to describe symptoms” to explain what problems you are having.

The coflex device is a good idea but it is not effective for many pathologies. Used in the wrong circumstances, it does not work. Even in the correct circumstances, it can erode into the bone or create a change in center of rotation and create new pain.
