After having insane, through-the-roof pain and snap-crackle-pop sounds in my spine for over 2 months now, it is sure that there is something wrong. I went to see my neurosurgeon yesterday, and after x-rays and a CT scan, it was determined that the fusion between my L1&L2 did not take.
I am getting hardware put back in on June 10. I am nervous and anxious, but I know this surgery will greatly diminish my pain, so I have to do it. It has been a very long hard road for me, and I am hoping after this surgery, I will be able to make a better recovery than the one I've made so far.
My walking has been put on hold until then-- no walking until after the surgery because of my vertebrae rubbing together. I can't even begin to explain the horrible feeling of bones grinding together in your spine. It makes my skin crawl!
I have to take it easy now, which isn't that hard to do. We are hoping that the remodel of my bathroom can take place during the few days I will be recovering in the hospital.
Surgery number 4... hopefully I can stop counting after this one!
I hope the next surgery will be your last one!
