Guest guest Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 Hi , Were both of your surgeries fusions? One of my fears about having a fusion is the " domino affect " , where the discs below and above the fusion can't take the extra stress and start bulging or herinating. I wish you the best also! Please let me know what your surgeon thinks can be done. Take care, > > , Around a year ago ,i had my 1st surgery on my neck. On April 30 of this year i a fusion done on my neck so that made #2 . i go next moth to see what my neurosurgeon to see what he " s going to do about a 3rd disk that's on a nerve .This started out as 3 bugled disks ,and my Dr has been going at them one at a time . As for you having a fusion , i wish i could tell you how to handle it or what to do ,i wish someone could tell me as far that goes . In my case as of now i cant lift over 5 pounds , or i could pinch the nerve worse .And the Dr says he could make things worse with surgery ,or better , don't know .I guss in the end you do what you have to do . and hope for the best . I wish you my best i hope things go good for you. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
