How do I get thru spine surgery recovery? I need people to talk to

Posted by denman55 @denman55, Jun 1, 2024

I just had 2 back surgeries, I'm home recovering, but it's slow and difficult. I'm in pain and uncomfortable, bored, have many tearful days and nights, am trying to hold it together, but really think I need people to talk to, share with, and I need support right now and hope there are a few people out there who can help me get thru this. I am a male, age 69, and I just had 2 spine surgeries. Thank you for your kindness.

@kimnorseth Welcome to Connect. I'm sorry your outcome from cervical surgery was not what you had hoped for. Did you have bone quality issues that led to the collapse after surgery? I know that spine surgery is tough. If you were dealing with significant spinal cord compression, surgery to decompress the spinal cord may prevent further damage and dysfunction.

How long has it been since your surgeries?
