Talk to Wheel or Jade. Believe they have had 12 inch rods in them as well...

Holy Sh.t! Is this not the same guy BUSA just flamed.

Is this true???

Busa doesn't discriminate. He's an equal opportunity flamer.

Not sure who the king busa flamed last. Like dp said busa is an equal opportunity flamer.

[sarcasm]

In fact...I do. 2 of them in fact. Screwed to my pelvis and holding my spine together.

Sorry it is c3 thru c7. As I said still relearning to use this lots of mistakes when I try to type to fast and don't proof read. It was called a posterior instrumentation and fusion foraminotomies bilateral cervical 3-7. Is the official terms on my paper work.

How is that working for you and did it help much? They want to rod my lower back also it's a real mess. But the neck was a fought one and I'm alittle worried after having trouble with stroke. But the lower back keeps pinching the nerves and down I go. I hate the chair but don't mind the walker so much at least I feel a little more free. How long was your recovery. I'm sorry not trying to be intrusive just first time I have been able to Ask from someone else that's knows about going through it. Chuck. 😳

I'm one of the lucky ones. Completely changed my quality of life. Before the surgery, I could barely get around and was agony most of the time. Now? Back to work with no restrictions and able to live a fairly normal life. I just have to be careful. I ache sometimes and still can't feel my left foot but"ll take it. I had the surgery on Dec 15 2011 and was back to work in February. It hurt....the surgery hurt like hell and so did the rehab but I would do it again a heartbeat. Sounds like you got a long row to hoe, my friend. You have my prayers. I guess the most important advice I could give is to be ABSOLUTELY sure you have the right Doctor. I went through a BUNCH of them before I found the one that I felt comfortable turning my life over to. If you have ANY reservations about your Doc...listen to that inner voice. I found a guy I KNEW would help me and he did.

This Dr is a Neurosurgeon and I meet with him twice and had a good gut feeling so I took the chance and even the way it all turned out I am very happy I am getting some movement in the left arm it's not much but it's some I'm not as concerned with the feeling as the movement. I want to fish yet this year LOL. They say I will have to use the walker until the lower back goes for good and if I do let them work on it I will more than likely be in a chair any way. The vertebras are being destroyed by my body they are pitted and pieces missing. So darned if I do and darned if don't. But at least the neck feels so much better than before. And your right the rehab. Is hell but with each improvement and each time I can do some little thing it's wroth it. Thanks for taking the time to reply its nice to hear from others who have gone through similar events. Bless you. 🙏
