- To try and make this as short as possible I am going to shorten my history. Surgery 09 discectomy, surgery 2011 back fusion 2nd surgery 2 days later to remove hardware on right. Surgery 2012 because cage moved out. Pain got better, then got in a...
- My husband and I have been taking a new Human growth Hormone Antecedent for the last 6 months. In a nutshell it isn't a hormone, it is just suppose to help your body produce the hormones it normally would at a younger age.ANYWAY, several people who...
- I just need a min to vent. I am so tired (and I know you are all in the same boat) of all of this back pain and the constant surgeries, injections, pills to try to "fix it" and it does not. I had a discectomy in 09 and then a lumbar fusion last...
- Last year I had a fusion (September) and now I have to go back in again tomorrow. This time to have the cage that they placed between the vertebrae replaced because it moved and is pushing on my sciatic nerve and is causing pain and numbness. ...
- I CANNOT believe this. I am having a hard time with this diagnosis. Long story short, I had a l5/s1 fusion last Sept. Well I had 2 surgeries, the first one gave me such problems with my right side they had to take the hardware out of the right...
- I had surgery 2 months ago, to fuse l5/S1. Things have been going pretty good. I went back to work part time beginning of last week, I have been able to do most of my normal stuff. With the exception of bending twisting & lifting of course. But...
- I have had quite the rollercoaster ride over the last several years. I herniated my disc, had a discectomy that did not help my pain. After many different proceedures and pt and pills a fusion was done a little over 3 weeks ago. I woke up from...
- After 3 Dr. telling me that a fusion is my best option, I think I am going to have it done. I know that most of you are seriously against having a fusion, but has anyone had any luck with mobility and pain after a fusion?.
- I had a Dr. appt today to go over my MRI that was take a few days ago. Short history, I had a discectomy in Oct 09 for a herniated disc, and have been in pain ever since. Been on pain meds and done numerous other things including PT, Chiro,...
- I posted this in the back pain forum, but Superduck suggested to post it here as well. Long story short in regards to my pain. I have had issues with my back since 09, I slightly leaned over after getting out of the shower and something shifted...
- I went to see a new Dr. today in hopes that they could shed some light and hope on my constant back pain. They think that my pain is not due to my herniation in my back as much as my SI joint and piriformis syndrome. They gave me an injection for...
- After the many different attempts that my PM Dr. has tried to get me to have a 3 ephirdural injection... this time I took my husband to my appointment with me. Isn't it amazing that when you have a spouse there and an intern how much more...
- I am getting really nervous as the month is progressing. My Pain Mgmt Dr. is trying to press me to get a 3rd epidural injection. He claims that it is rare that he would suggest a 3rd one but he feels it would work for me. The first one worked for...
- I knew it was coming, but it is still hard to hear. My PM Dr. told me yesterday that it has now been well over a year since my tear in my disc and there is no longer a chance that it will heal itself.My options right now are, 3rd epidural shot. ...
- I am a little scared, ok a lot scared. I had an epidural injection prior to my surgery about 2 years ago & it was an extremely painful experience. And it did make me a whole new person for about a week, but then the pain came back.Now that my...
