Guest guest Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 I have scoliosis too ultimately causing my disk to dissappear between L4 & L5 which was the cause of sciatica pain on the right to the degree that I could not stand or walk more than a few minutes at a time Nd my right leg would go completely numb. I had a TLIF spinal fusion on Oct. 22nd and although I had a few complications with spasms after, I am now glad I had it done. So far it cured the sciatica issue. I've come a long way these last 3 weeks in my healing. I think in part due to a good physical therapist but my recovery from the surgery took much longer than promised. I will be going back to work in about a week although as a finance manager in an auto dealership it is a real possibility that i could be laid off or not be able to earn much of an income right now. This group has seen me go through the loss of my relationship with my boyfriend during all of this. It's been an emotionally painful time for me but I've learned many life lessons along the way. I never want to ha e to have this surgery again do ok committed to keeping my weight down and when I'm able to keep fit. A year ago I was a size 16. Now my size 6 gap jeans are loose! Of you do have to have a fusion make sure you get your wright down if it's an issue and be sure to build upper body strength as you will need it after surgery to get in and out of bed. Thanks!
