i’m having spine fusion in 3 wks. what was your post surgery in the hospital and at home. was there a lot of pain

I just got your message today. I am so sorry you have to go through this. The hospital for two days was HELL. So be prepared. I was not prepared for the pain. I am a surgery expert. After a head on collison 9 years ago I have had approximatley 27 surgery’s. Really I have lost count. This has to go down as one of the worst. Done Sept. 23, 08. Now I am working out at the YMCA. Still have pain.. Think I need a new bed. Write back. Best of luck to you. Lisa

About 6 inches. Mine healed really nice. It has been 7 months now. Best of luck to you! Lisa

Thank you for the info. I was not expecting to hear surgery from the doctor and did not even think about the incision until I walked out the door. Did you also have L5 ans S1 fused? Thanks again.

What kind of things couldn’t do when you were post op or at home. How long for the recovery? i appreciate your notes.

6 inch’s. After I returned to work at the Kenworth Factory I was run over, now with 3 more bad disc’s.

Me too, and I agree with the post surgical part. I just wanted to die.

I tried chiropracty, massage, epidurals, exercise, etc. If you have low back pain, mid-back pain, or whatever it may be, there is a really great read called “Healing Back Pain” by Dr. John Sarno. It conveys the most Responsible Content on the matter that I have ever come across and is NOT “about” anatomy in general. You can google his name – don’t have to buy the book. P.S. I’ve had 2 discectomies in the past – didn’t know better, and…..yeah, it’s a really worthwhile read.

I have had two disc laminectomys and now face lumbar infusion at L3-L4 and L4-L5 and rods with metal disc implants at S1. The doctors say 4 to 6 months flat in bed. Does anyone have any information to give me on the surgeries?
August 7th, 2009 - 16:45
Thanks! It helped me with my case.

I have had 9 fusions…so have 18 screws and two rods. Its been three years I can walk further but still alot of pain. Some days it feels like the screws are going to come out. Wish I never had it done. But this was my last hope and still severe pain. Did all the esi’s shots and chiro, tried everything. So, guess I will be like this the rest of my life and I am only 44. Good luck to everyone. debs

dis really helped me alot

I had surgery on L4, L5, S1 and on C4, C5 laser spine surgery without any screws or foreign objects. My neck surgery passed however back lumbar surgery failed and now I suffer from nerve damage. I do not know what else to turn to. Been everywhere other than turning to dr. in India or China for Stem cells injections for replacing the cell tissues.

is it done also post-traumatically and and when columna vertebrae has a curve to the side? im just curious

Depending on the details of your Lumbar surgery (XLIF, PLIF, ALIF) and the type of bone used (allograft, autograft), the answer to your problem may be resolved by a device called a bone growth stimulator. Failed Fusions in Lumbar surgery occur when the bone does not fuse. The bone stimulator jump starts this fusion process. Only 3 companies have FDA approval for this device, best one on the market is by a company called DonJoy.

I’ve had the L3.L4 L5 surgery about six years ago and went back to work a year later,but the pain came back so much.They decided to remove my hardware in another surgery but to no avail.I’ve tried drugs(vicodon,ultram and soma for spasms)rehab and still nothing.They say the only thing they can do for me is to install a dorsal spine stimulater(i think thats right).What it is is a box with leads runnig next to the spine and it’s supposed to block the pain to before it gets to the brain,I said no.

@itrainsinoctober
Just wanted to thank you for spreading the word on Dr. Sarno. I first heard of him from you, here on youtube by pure chance and it’s saving my life and my sanity. Can’t thank you enough. I can’t send you a message, so I hope you’ll read this.
Wishing you all the best and God bless you!:)
April 28th, 2010 - 09:38
@whitebluebug Thanks so much for the kind words, that’s really nice, and I’m glad that my post was helpful to you. I wish more people like yourself knew of Sarno’s book because it seems to fill a gap in our current medical dialogue. Take care.

@itrainsinoctober
I am thrilled that you got my message:)
And thanks for responding. I tried to message you last year when I first read your comment on Sarno and it changed everything for me. I often wonder where I’d be without Sarno ( and you) and I felt like trying to message you once again.
Little did you know you were in somebody’s prayers;)
I’m doing my part and spreading the Sarno word. (People are slow to accept it though)..
Take care and all the best to you!
