@yaaqovk so sorry to hear that your surgery didn’t go well believe me I know what that pain is like and it is awful! Where did you have your surgery? My spine surgery April 13 went good I had a great surgeon from what I understand he fixes a lot of other surgeons mistakes. I had a very radical surgery from breast cancer gone to my spine. the surgeon said it was one of the most radical he’s done. I had a fusion from T3 -T9 also removed 3 parts of lamina in my spine, 50% of my T5 and T6 vertebrae, 3 V-shaped bones with cancer, had to fill-in with puddy, two rods, six screws, had to make flaps 10 cm x 5 cm for the muscle in my back. Other stuff was done, but just thought I’d give you an idea of what I went through.

My surgery was 27 JAN 25, and I'm still walking with a walker, still having
pain and complications.. thanks for asking.

Take it easy, but TAKE it!

@mawmaws I had my surgery at Hadassah Ein Karem Hospital in Jerusalem where I live..I got an MRI this May and need to consult with the referring orthopedist to determinecwhat comes next. My main problem now is lumbar spine kyphosis.
