My back hurts like hell right now.. - Update.

Buy this at Walmart or a pharmacy. Take them for one month and see if there's improvement. Worked for me.

I am by no means trying to dissuade people from getting necessary spinal fusions done, but I do want to touch on some of the issues that can come with them as an informative measure.

The problems that can crop up with a fused spine is that the points above and below the fusion can begin to destabilize over time causing pinched nerves, ruptured disc, cracked vertebrae and sciatica, spinal shifting, headaches and bowel trouble, failed instrumentation, trouble balancing as well as odd or exaggerated gait, etc; in some cases, it will or is likely to only get worse as you age, depending on numerous factors involved.

Every individual will experience differing outcomes and prognosis.

For example, Try using the toilet when constipated, where your ass goes numb, and your legs begin to literally bounce up and down making your feet lift of the floor in an uncontrollable manner as you sit trying to take a dump. You can't. You have to stand back up and wait until you are no longer constipated.

Spinal surgery is no picnic, after all, you are talking about the spine here, which is responsible for whole body support.

The chances of needing more surgery to correct unforeseen latent issues has the potential to increase over time and physical therapy can be about as useful as attempting to fill a bathtub by carrying a 5 gallon bucket full of water 30 feet with a 2 inch hole in the bottom.

It can frequently result in a no win situation for many spinal fusion sufferers who have undergone surgery even if it does improve quality of life over all had they not had it performed.

In post op after my fusion, in intensive care, I coded and they almost lost me. (The pain from the procedure I had was so intense I stopped breathing and nearly died. I was 18.)

Mine is fused at T11-L3. I have suffered with pain, sciatica, fractures and multiple other debilitating factors from it for a little over 30 years now. Daily life is a balancing act just trying to maintain some form of normality.

I have a scar that runs from several inches below my left shoulder blade all the way down to my left groin a couple inches above my pubic bone. In total, the scar measures approximately 2 feet in length.

My procedure is essentially the same as shown in (Fig. 155.7) to (Fig 155.12) at the link below.

(Fig. 155.3) at the following link shows roughly what was done to me, albeit a bit more pronounced than shown in the drawing.

Obviously there are people living with much worse than I have, comparably to them, my surgery was a walk in the park, but it isn't a picnic for any of us. It impacts life in a profound manner.

Typically women represent the greater portion of the population for these types of condition over male individuals.

With medical advances, most surgeries done today, like mine, are not as invasive as when I had mine done and recovery prognosis and stability impacting quality of life is far better today as a result.

ANTERIOR APPROACH TO SCOLIOSIS

find ur closest kkt orthopedic spine centre...they use sound waves to heal fractures and increase disc proteins....locations on website

Yes, it does help not having gravity effect you, It helps relive pressure, but there is only so much time you can devote to being in the water and not everyone has the luxury of being able to utilize such things on a consistent basis.

I was on morphine for quite awhile for the pain, but I voluntarily went off of it. It was too toxic for me to continue. I get by with Tramadol and Cannabis, currently. It cuts the pain somewhat, but it's always present at a moderate level and increases with activity, or the obverse of that if I am to sedentary. Some days it is more difficult to manage than others, it's a balancing act.

Turmeric is a pain reliever. Take it with a bit of black pepper and milk to increase its absorption.

Hope you get well soon…

How did they confirm the fracture? Xray or MRI?

Just curious.

You want to rule out bone cancer. Happened to my one sister. She said her back was killing her after closing a sliding glass door. Bone cancer and a vertabra broke.

Boiling whole chicken and eating the bone broth would be one thing I would definitley do regardless of anything else.

Weed is better

I'm trying this liquid tumeric based on some recommendations, and it does
seem to cut the edge. Some say this liquid works when the pill form doesn't.

I broke a lumbar vertebra three years ago. I piled on Salon Pas patches and got through it. It's a bitch though. CBD salve helps.

I’m sorry brother. Praying your back is healed soon, in Jesus’ mighty name.

x-ray and 3d cat

Sending positive vibes and thoughts.

Try a good back brace. I couldn’t live without mine and yes it’s a little un comfortable but better with it than without it.

Oh man, I'm sorry for you! I raise grassfed beef and sell all my bones to people with back problems, they make bone broth out of it and say it helps them significantly. You might give it a try. Best to you

Thank you, I’ve seen that, I’ll get that for him.

An update. My surgeon told me to go to the regional trauma unit. The trauma neurosurgeon said I was in no danger of failure, but there were several fractures on the spine processes and smaller ones on one side of the fusion. They admitted me and did more imaging and tests for 2 days, and sent me home with orders to pretty much don't do anything but sit and walk around the house for 3 weeks and then very light work until week 6. Then progress back to normal as long as I don't over stress it and consider healed by week 12. Standard bone healing for my age. No nerve damage.

Thank God. I'll be back to (my) normal soon!

That’s very good news!

Oh man OP. Wishing you the best. In a nutshell, my late Husband messed up his back and had surgery. The surgery failed and the Dr. gave him a big bottle of Vicodins and sort of wished him luck! Husband got hooked and kept needing more for pain relief, ultimately died 6 yrs ago due to liver damage. He was not a drinker, but the pain meds ruined his liver. I’m not a fan of the medical world and have several family members that are Doctors & Nurses that follow the modern day conventional way. They annoy the crap out of me.
Seriously rooting for healing for you!

Oh, Lord. I'm so sorry for your loss and the misery he must have gone through both physical and mental. That is what I call 'The Spiral'. I have seen it several times before in others due to various reasons and it is something that I want to do everything in my power to avoid.

Again, my condolences.

Not going to compare myself with anyone here, but reading some of the comments above I see that there are others that are experiencing similar pain.

After 15 years of this reality I have accepted that routine injections and pain meds will be a forever thing at least for me, how ever long that may be.

If I may recommend Radio frequency Ablasion to some of you that haven't yet heard of this, it has been a life saver for me.

Best wishes to all suffering back pain.

You can't walk on the sheetrock or plaster between the ceiling joists dude.

I have back pain going a few years now as it has gotten progressively worse. I take 14 drugs a day not counting the extra drugs I can take as needed. I'm on 2 antidepressants to keep me happy and away from suicidal thoughts to end the pain. My doctor is trying to get me a spinal unit of local hospitals and the quickesr so far is July. MRI showed 3 tumors, bone spurs, and bulging disc which is causing the nerve issues I have. I also have a condition called DISH which is calcifying the ligaments, tendons, and nerves within my spine. I'm in my 70's and years of heavy work have caught up with me in a vengeance. I do have access to some heavy duty pain pills if needed, but taking them suck as they make me tired and walking like a zombie.If anyone had told me this is what my retirement was going to be like, I would have committed suicide 20 years ago. Pain really, really sucks.

My FIL had installed 3/8 ply as a floor near 40 years ago and the span is 24". It would have been fine if it was 16". It would have been alright for him at 120lb, but not me at 220. Even with me trying to step at the joist positions, the ply gave out after I must have misstepped. Did I mention plywood splinters in your leg smart a bit?

Damn, man.

Pain reminds us that we are still alive and able to see beauty and enjoy a smile. It's all the thousands of little things that are worth living and fighting for. We are only here for a short time so enjoy all the little things you can, no matter what gets in your way.

Dont lie to us OP

you can tell the truth

your 450lb wife fucked you again this time she went full retard on your ass.

She was screaming 'HI-YO, SILVER!'
