What?? Why??

JaxyWaxy it gets better after 3rd week. I had l5s1 fusion anterior and posterior January 31. I am walking like a robot with that brace. The brace gives me stability to walk but pain is still there. Recovery is something we have to be very patient about.

My l5s1 disk has four operations, the last operation fosion air is now two years old, it is very intense. PLZZZZ help me.

With an 80 degree curve she will definitely get way better. I just had the surgery done a week ago, first week so far for me is horrible but it gets worse before it gets better. Your daughter will be ok, she will breathe better and be much much taller. Just be with her as much as possible, it is not fun to be alone in the hospital especially with the amount of pain associated with this surgery. I’m sure she will do great, good luck!

Thank you so much...we are one week post op and still in the hospital:( toughest week of our lives. She is 12. So strong and hanging in there. We had complication and they had to stop the surgery as ut wasn't safe to continue. Because if nerve signals that were happening with the spinal cord. Big scare she could have been paralyzed. The doctor ended up stopping the surgery 6 hrs in waking her up and seeing her in ICU. It was devastating. She recovered well, and is back in the OR tomorrow morning. Really hoping and praying they an finish safely and get the rods in.

L M that’s very scary...I’m sure everything will be ok though, she is under great care. Im sure everything will go well and she will get the rods in and recover well. I’m 2 weeks in now, and I am feeling a lot better than I was last week. First week is the worst

Thank you 🙏🏼

I'm 13 and I got mine about 2 weeks ago. My back feels very sore and tight, but I'm recovering quickly! How is your daughter feeling?

@james Carroll did you go home the same day? Did u have to use a walker? Im getting surgery on Jan 20th and scared of the recovery time.

Lupec Meza_92 My surgery consultation is January 2nd.. from there I get the surgery scheduled. I’m terrified too, and don’t know what my recovery time will look like. My disc is completely blown out. I pray for you!

James Carroll I am unsure right now. My health insurance doesn’t kick in till Jan 1st.. I had an emergency MRI and 4-5 surgeons/hospitals have called I need emergency surgery ASAP. I told them I have to wait for my health insurance to kick in. So I wait.. im on lots of meds and off work for the next few weeks. Just waiting to see what the surgeon thinks.

Brianna Young mine is on Jan 16th. I’m so scared! I’m having L4-S1 fused and they’re going through my stomach so scared

I see my surgeon on Jan 14th, and then we will schedule surgery. I was told at last visit, he will make incisions on my back. Now I'm so confused about going thru stomach, I read someone is having that done!

They are fusing mine to the pelvis at L5 S1. It provides stability.

Yes, I wan 13 when I had my back surgery. It will be difficult but you’ll be way better then before.

Apko kaha pain he?

How’s it going? I’m having two surgeries in six weeks

Margaret this is horrible to hear! What surgery did you have done and how are you going 4 weeks on?

@@mynarcissistjourney hi. I HOPE YOU ARE BETTER NOW!!! Going for surgery on Thursdsy. Afraid hope it all go well

@@tallulahsimpson1183 hi I am so much better now I have been seeing a chiropractor twice a week for the last 4 months and I am back to my job full time which involves lifting heavy furniture! Can’t believe it! The crazy thing is I was seriously contemplating surgery only 4 months ago and now i have my life back… anyone with hesitation about chiropractic care GO AND TRY IT! CHANGED MY LIFE!!

how about now?

How old are you? Want to see if age is a factor

I’m so sorry 😢

have u try smoke weed 😂😂 asking for friend

I'm sorry to hear I understand

@@seanrowe1333 Things happen, now went to another Doc seen PA she couldn't believe NO back brace. This is real bad.

Jesus! Are you ok now? 😟

@@anneblubaugh58 No, after seeing a 3rd specialist he is going to remove all the screws and from L3 to the sacrum has to fix the problem there the other Doctor made. Unreal....

@@anneblubaugh58 By the way there are a lot of screws, from T11 - sacrum. Unreal.

Lemon Lover I got mine done last week and honestly sleeping on my side helps me a lot

Jesse Ahumada hello i know this is kinda of late i just got mine done and i would like to know has yours gotten better as pain wise?

zen is vsco the pain I had for the last 5 years isn’t there anymore I’m just dealing with a lot of soreness

Jesse Ahumada sorry for a late response and i have a question how old were you whenever you got your surgery done

zen is vsco I’m 33 and I just got it done last month

Tina, I had spinal fusion on 3,4,5 and 6 in my neck 15 days ago. I had 4 titanium cartridge replacements with a titanium plate on the front with 8 screws. Mine is considered a very aggressive surgery. As of today I am off pain meds. All my previous symptoms, pain and numbness are gone. My swallowing is still an issue. It is nothing I cannot deal with, but it is something you notice. I return to desk work in 6 days. The worst part is the first 72 hours. I threw up 5 times at day 1 because of anathesia reaction. In the first 72 hours I could not swallow anything but ice chips and pain level was 8/10. After that,the pain quickly got better. Ice is a major friend. I brought my own large ice packs as the hospital only had small ones. I would do the surgery again in a second. Hope this helped and good luck!

I had the exact same surgery in 2016 at 53 years old. Get ALL your questions answered. You will feel much better. The brace isn't so bad and you won't wear it for a year. The year is so your muscles move around to accommodate the correct position of your spine, etc. Your surgical pain will be gone within a couple weeks. The first week is the worst. After that week you will feel exponentially better every few days.

@@chance6245 , glad you are doing great. I hope I have a great outcome too. Thank you!

@@awarenessvillage , thank you! I just saw my surgeon on Tuesday and now I'm just waiting on insurance company. I'm gonna do it, I'm tired of hurting. I've been trying to get as much info as possible. I'm 53.. I can't take pain much more..

@@tinawhittamore9939 I wish you all the best!!! A friend's husband, who also had the same surgery, told me about the website spine-health.com. It's a great site and has lots more info. You may find some info to help you there.

Yes. Lost complete feeling and control over entire right leg when I woke up. Feeling came back slowly throughout the day. Still have numbness and tingling in both my feet.
