I got a UTI in 2011 three to four months later I started having pinching and biting feeling in neck. Thought it was a pinched nerve. Never went away. By May of 2012 I was been seen in a hospital and they said nothing was wrong. I had indescribable pain and it would not go away the hospital would not give me an MRI for six months later then they found the whole left side of my vertebrae s have been eating away.he told me I was a one and 1 billion and you did not know what it was they did 11 hours surgery removed all my disk scraped all my vertebrae s I had holes in them at look like a worm had wormed his way through it they both of them together Rod fused took out my disk and still to this day in having same he told me I was a one and 1 billion and you did not know what it was they did 11 hours surgery scraped my vertebrae s check out my disk C-2 through C-5 screwed them back together rods and a metal plate was fused to my neck. Today every vertebrae in my spine from my lumbar to my cervical is messed up and I still have the same symptoms now I have metal where they cannot see where I keep complaining about the eating feeling of my neck. I was never treated ex today every vertebrae in my spine from my lumbar to my cervical is messed up and I still have the same symptoms now I have metal where they cannot see where I keep complaining about the eating feeling of my neck and they will not go back in. I received 1 shot of antibiotics during surgery. I think it was osteomyelitis
