Nana, you were the first thing that I noticed when I got off work and you lead me right down into a rabbit hole, lol.

Got any words of wisdom on back surgeries?
Anyone?
Fusions?
Ending well?
Extreme pain after surgery for how long?

Better surgery options? Have exhausted all non surgical options already.

Nana will admit that is has pissed me off for yrs, if they can make clones, create hearts and other organs in the lab, why the hell they cant replace discs in the spine!

Was trying to wait to see what new technology but it is taking too long, probably not going to be able to wait.

I'm currently with a compression fracture of the L1, and a bulging disc above, due to a fall from my horse in September.

Everything I have seen, and been told is that the fusing surgery causes lifetime pain (my Dr finally admitted that an allergic reaction to the bonding msterial can happen.) I told him I would not do any procedures just yet, as things are still improving (he also said he had seen bone regrow - he is one if the good Drs, no masks or pressure for injections during Covid).

I am no longer on Tylenol to go to sleep (can't take strong pain killers they make me throw up, and, I am reluctant to take them in case I reinjure myself.)

So doing what I can, & noticing every week I can do more, then rest... sometimes with a heat pad. I drink lots of water too, as this helps prevent the muscles from cramping, and pulling everything out of whack.

How long ago did you injure yourself?
