i had pain in my back after surgery for a bone fusion 4 yrs ago. pain has persisted xrays just showed 2 medical staples were dropped in my surgery

You should request a copy of all your medical records and medical bills relating to the surgery and any other follow-up visits you have had with all doctors/health care providers relating to this surgery and/or back pain.  I also recommend consulting a local attorney as soon as possible.  There are likely time limitations (they differ by state).  You should be able to request the records by faxing a medical authorization to the NJ hospital/doctor's office.  This response is general in nature and should not be considered legal advice.  No attorney-client relationship exists or is formed by this information.
