Has anyone here had back surgery? I have two collapsed disk (thanks to an 18 wheeler at 55mph) and have done the back injections, physical therapy for 7+ months and tomorrow I have an appointment with my Doc who gave me until last Friday to start showing signs of improvement before talking surgery. Well on Friday at therapy I read my review that they are sending the doctor. It said, “his progress has plateaued”. So I’m sure I’m going t hear about surgery. Just wanted to know if any one has had it and how they are know.
(Plus was the discogram really as bad as I have read) |

My operation was on T10, T9 and T11 are fused to T10. People get surgery everyday. Old people get really traumatic surgery(heart) and they recover. You will be fine. I mean there is always a risk of death on the operating table. However, your risk is considerably less than an 85 year old getting a triple bypass. If they go straight to your back, I doubt that it is anything as bad as mine was. I am 35 and I have had 3 surgeries(groin, knee, back). It is always scary, and I won't be any less scared the next time I have to go. I have a tooth I need extracted and I keep putting it off because it scares me. If you are that disabled at your age, you should get it fixed.
