Re: Had spinal fusion to L4 in 1995- screw now protruding from bottom of my back

[Guest guest]

Yes. My bar came out of my clip and was sticking into my skin. It was

extremely painful at first but after a couple of weeks it ease off. I

went to my surgeon who said I would have to have the metal out as

eventually it could come out of the skin.

So about a year later I had all the metal removed. Only problem now 8

years later is that my curve appears to be progressing again.Currently

I am starting pilates with a physio to see if this helps if not I will

have to go back to the surgeon who says he can operate but there would

be alot more risk with this operation then the first.

Good luck.
