Found you from the how to read an mri video. Awesome information. Sorry you went so long with your pain but it sounds like your surgery was a success. Going through the "steps" right now myself.
I had a 4 level L2-S1 Fusion in Dec 2021. It's a different animal. Just wanted to say you have done so well. Not like mine unfortunately. I watched 100s and I mean a ton on video's on RU-vid. Good, Bad and Ugly ones. So much variation. But your video's got by me till now. Were you hiding? Happy You are doing so well. You give the appearance of a very interesting and positive young lady. Your ability to walk right away is amazing. That was my main reason for having mine done. That's the one thing that I did not get help with. You are adorable, keep up the good work :)
Lanny- I will have the exact same as you but 1 more L1-S1. what was your recovery where you felt you could get around fairly well on your own? just curious..bob
@@bbulliard I had issues for some time. I was able to get around in a week or two. However, get around was all. No lengthy walks as some claim. But I had a few problems that developed and couldn't get my surgeon to accept what I was describing. After 15 months I saw someone else that did the right testing. I had both screws at the S1 that were very loose and the l5-S1 did not fuse properly. So, one more time and I'll not bore you with that one. I am one year since then. Good, not so good. There was one other issue and it was going to have to wait unfortunately. I will tell you this was very unusual and if it could happen to anyone, it would be me :) By the way, I wish they had gone to the L1.
@@lannybailey4871 Lanny- thank you so much for your really quick response. I really appreciate it. Glad to hear you wish they had gone to L1. again many thanks for your very quick response...bob
That is what they are doing to me in 9 days. Sept. 2, 2022. I have two discs my two bottom lumbar discs being removed and a piece of my bone removed to get to my left side-disc and used with donated bone to replace the discs and then fused together. They are doing the PLIF on me though. Not the TLIF. I would like to know if I can get up my stairs when I get home upon many questions. I work now doing payroll so I sit a lot. I am 46. I hope to recover well and quick of course. I hope to do yoga again one day. I use to run and do yoga. i was hard on my body as well. I hope you are pain free now and doing great! It looks like you are.
I had my period on the day of my steroid injections which failed.. same week i had microdiscatomy.. now this is my day 16. Im wondering about many things.. will my life change a lot ?
How are u feeling now ? I am going through exactly what u went still on waiting list everyday crying in pain 😔I have spondylitis grade 2 and bulging disc L4 L5
Yes, listen to your body What gets me is no one mentions about what possibly is happening to your body I was at work day before We a were told to shelter in, not knowing what the heck would possibly happen now I to am deciding to have the procedure Yes, it's scary but wondering if it be worth it TY for sharing ❤🎉
