Hello everyone. I am looking at a failed fusion (second surgery) and have had continued pain. A CT scan two months ago showed no fusion a year after surgery. I had an MRI a week ago and it had one sentence in it that really grabbed my attention. I'm not aure what to make of it. I understand the general concept of it but don't know what it means long term or near future wise. It's the weekend and I am hoping to hear from the docs office in a few days. Anyway,here is the jist of it...
There is a small posterior bulge of the cord into the laminectomy.
I don't know if I'm just being a weenie and getting all worked up for nothing. Like I said, I understand what it means literally but any insight as to what it means for me or your past experiences would b appreciated. I'm trying to delay going back on schedule two narcotics for as long as I can but the time grows short. I apologize for how this message may look but I'm doing it from my iPhone while flat on my back in bed.
Thanks for any help
