Guest guest Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Hi I have just discovered this site and I'm hoping that I will be able to gain some ideas on the way ahead. My story is I was fused from i think T5-L3/4 in 1984 using a Harrington rod. Until January 2009 I had very little problems. However, I bent down to pick up my handbag in a hurry, tore a muscle and have not recovered since. I experience severe burning at the top and bottom of my rod and have been told I have moderate degenerative changes to my lumbar spine. I also suffer severe irritation to the left of my sacrum when anything presses on it and severe siatica down my left leg. I saw a consultant last year and the only hope he could offer me is pain relief. At 41 years old I'm not ready to accept this. Does anyone have any ideas for treatment that they can share with me. I would be very greatful for your help Regards Bev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
