Guest guest Posted February 28, 2004 Report Share Posted February 28, 2004 I have degenerative disc disease and acute facet syndrome. My first surgery was about 12 years ago forlower back l-5 s-1 then 4 years ago the same disc ruptured on the other side so they removed the disc and left me bone to bone. I suffer everyday with constant pain and I am now disabled from it. On dec 28 I had surgery on my neck because c-6 & c-7 had ruptured pressing on my spinal cord. They said 3,4,5, were all buldging. I asked why they couldn't fix them while they were already in there and the dr. said it was too much at one time. Now I am waiting on bone fusion to take place before they check another spot between my shoulder blades thatcould be buldging or ruptured. Is there ever going to be an end to this? the Dr. said that usually people who have neck surgery end up having it again. I'm only 39 years old, am I going to be crippled before I'm 50? Does anyone have any answers for this? Please help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
