I had a lami/disk on Jan. 22 of this year. After the surgery, he told me that the L5/S1 were very loose and may need a fusion in the future. My pain in my legs and back did not go away. I went back to him on March 20th and he thinks that since he already knew that a fusion is needed, and I have continued pain, surgery should be scheduled. This last Thursday I got a pain in between my shoulders that feels like someone is pressing their thurab as hard as they can on the right side of my spine. It hurts to turn my neck, look down. I tell my husband that it feels like a knife in my back. I am calling my doc in the morning about this. Is it not common to have herniated disks in the middle of your spine than your lower back? Will it cause the same kind of pain as lower disks? I have DDD and scoilosis. I have also been reading about the questions on bonor bone and using your own. That I hope to see more responses. Thanks for your help. I really enjoy reading the board and find that it's very useful.
I had disketomy at C5&6 on cervical. I was told going threw the back of neck would be better for me and Doctor to clean bulged disk, bone spurs, ect...2 weeks after surgery i still have major arm pain worse than before surgery, I have lost alot of strength in my arm, hard to pick up things! so I call doctor did another MRI show that the surgery did'nt work!!! need to go threw front of neck. The MRI looked the same as the first one, he told me he removed part of disk and spurs, well they are still their on the MRI pictures, so did he even clean everything out that he told me? Needless to say I have a apt for a 2nd opinion! I wish doctor would of went threw the front first, now I have to deal with surgery again!!
