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) |

I'm in the same boat right now only a few weeks behind. Mine are L4&L5 due to a congential fusion of the ist three. Had the steroid treatment for a week, am doing therapy 3x week, next is steroid injection and then surgery. Everyone I have spoke with has had great results with fusion surgery, haven't really had any bad reports from those I've spoke with.
The best thing to do is obviously get the best people you can. I've found that talking with Physical therapists is a good way to find out who does the best work. Good luck keep us posted. |
