    Daughter had magec rod implant early 2022 and left her with flatback-syndrome and post operative permanent neurological deficit.
    Post surgery, surgeon explained the intra operative that the neuromonitoring signal disappeared during lumbar screw implant, daughter's leg stopped moving, but they continued with the surgery until the end of the surgery.
    After the surgery, her legs started moving.
    We're wondering why they didn't perform the wake up test during the lost of the signal.
    Daughter woke up from surgery with leg numbness and swallow legs, leg jerking and shaking, hypersensitivity to touch.
    2 months post op, loss of bowel and bladder control and it then recovered after 4 months.
    Since she woke up from the surgery, both legs were with electric shocks pain from lower back down to both feet, daily. She described as tingling, stabbing, needles pinched pain 24/7.
    It's been 16 months post op now, she's still suffering nerve pain daily. Permanent disability as a result of this outcome. Permanently in wheelchair now.
    She's still going back to the original surgeon fevery 8 weeks for magec lengthening procedures.
    The surgeon claimed it was a successful surgery and she needed to have more PT to get back to walking.
    The question now is how to resolve the Neurological deficit and flatback syndrome issues.
    She losses her natural lordosis curvature since the op and not able to bear weight to stand or walk upright.
    With the 24/7 tingling and electric shocks on both legs, it is extremely impossible for her to be able to stand straight to walk.
    Appreciate any input or advice to help her to get back her life.
