Hi Jerzy, I’m still going to PT which is internal and external. I take no pain drugs as I’m allergic to everyone of them. I’m going to weekly acupuncture too. I just after 14 months see no results. If I saw a slight change believe me I would be thrilled. I’ve been told the colon is a very stupid organ,tough to get going.
After acdf fusion surgery in Boston I followed up with a gag reflux study.if I remember correctly that was at 6 month follow up. Also during my surgery he was assisted by a nerve specialist and I don’t know her professional name. She was in the operating room doing a similar function to acupuncture but more in depth. She stimulated many nerves during the entire surgery. I woke up when fully alert and many little pinhole size bruises everywhere, I had them in my head as well. Prior to surgery I was explained her role and how it played with having a large fusion. I had a lot of concern ending up with nerve damage. I’m quite sure I still could have.
My date is set. I’m following through with PT and acupuncture till very end with hopes it may jump start my system.
I just feel I’ve done all the non medical drug related types of care offered to me. Maybe I’m missing something I’m not aware of. Can you share more of what you sent through after surgery and what you still are going through. Also, I’m guessing and just a guess you went to a large NY hospital. Did you use a large well know facility. Having had many surgeries I surely believe it’s better. Be well and happy, Joanne
