Bent pin and new disk slipping

Posted by user_chf56161a @user_chf56161a, Jan 14, 2019

I saw my surgeon at Mayo last week. My new lumbar fusion with bent pin and new disk has slipped a little. I think I get star struck and don’t ask questions I need to. He said it could heal like that fine or not. He wants me back for 5 days of tests and a shot they’ll put me out for. Staying in hotel for 4 days is a lot of money, I have to fly both ways. I’m not in the nerve pain I was. I’m walking around with out pain. Just my left top of foot burns.

@user_chf56161a, if you don't mind me asking, is the pin supposed to be bent? Is the waiting 5 days to see how your back starts to heal?

I’m hoping nerve pain leaves and my back heals. They are doing special images when I arrive and meet with Drs to see.. I’m also getting a shot while I’m there. Fingers crossed
