Guest guest Posted February 19, 2004 Report Share Posted February 19, 2004 After a lot of miscommunication, the doctor finally sent me for a complete set of X-rays, which I recieved a copy of the report. I now know that I'm fused from T4-L3. Does anyone know what " The rod appears to have separated from the traction component " means? The rest of the report I can understand except for this comment. I was able to get a copy of the MRI scan report, which shows " markedly " degeneration and a small herniation. I was surprised that they were able to see that much with the rods but not surprised with the results. I had quit my work at the beginning of January and my Neurologist ordered me not to go back full-time and that once a week was stretching it. I'm just waiting for the long-term Disability Pension to be approved (I got the short-term already). Good luck with your surgery, , and everyone else having their's.
