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 have a Herrington rod that is connected via double hooks to someplace around T1 to L1 area, I have a serious twist in the center of my spine and a wedge shaped vertebrae that required a fusion of T 5-6-7. The twist caused my rib cage on my right back to cave in and my left rib cage on my back to buldge out. It's still that way. But it's not supposed to get worse.
The result would be colapsed breathing cavity and eventual death. The doctors took a pretty serious hunk of bone from a donor surgury from my left lliac crest. (the big thick bone structure above your butt cheeks) I was in a body cast for 10 months. I was 17 years old at the time of my surgury. I was release to work about 2 months after my 18th birthday. I'm 47 now. I've lifted my weight and more lots of times. I've been in fist fights, car accidents, and work from dusk to dawn. If you let things bother you they will. If you choose to let life control you it will. If you live everyday like it's your last you'll have no regrets. |
