Went in for my 4 week post op x-rays for lumbar tlif, and the tech was able to show me my cervical fusion too. Quality is bad cause puter couldn't enlarge due to the new system but yeah...two fusions in a year! Hoping doing the top and the bottom of the spine will just correct everything in the middle. My thoracic spine has many problems too, but none life threatening like the cervical, or paralyzing like the lumbar...optimistic for alternative methods to reverse things that can be reversed, at least stop progression without biologics. Please talk to me about stem cells if you know 🙏 still have to endure the ankilosing spondilitis autoimmune(si joints and fusing is a problem with that), degenerative joint disease and Fibromyalgia. I plan to live a very good life regardless of this.
Ps..so disturbing, i can't show it, but Isaac found an intact suture surfacing. 🥵 that's what that pulling sensation has been! Also, the whole low back still feels like a third degree burn. It's wild.
