Spinal fusion w/pelvic fixation (T-3-pelvis), having trouble. Ideas?

Posted by allison49 @allison49, May 12, 2025

Had spinal cord damage thoracic T-3 ,4, 5. Also spondylitis, spondylitis, foraminal, osteocytes . All spine issues were taken care of with fusion( 4 rods , 32 screws). Legs just will not work properly. Nerves , muscles not on same page. I can walk but not much else. Leg nerve tests showed nerves strong. My quads feel like half frozen chicken thighs. Hams and quads fighting each other. Front of legs feel like I have catchers gear on. Trying to get back to playing sports. Shins feel like bees under skin. Numb front of legs but not back of legs.

@sherrym25 Thanks, Sherry. Your kindness is so appreciated, not just by me, but by others here. I just wanted to say thank you. I am glad you are doing well and making progress with your scar tissue. It’s kind of magic when the tightness lets go and your body can relax again. You are right about waiting until healed because this scar tissue needs to do its job in healing before working on modifying the side effects.
