Let's hear the positive outcomes from anyone who had spine surgery
Hey everyone, I know we have several people scheduled for spine surgeries in January.
Looking to hear how each of you are doing and what your current situation is. So many people are in this group and it’s so easy to get lost unless we keep up with what is going on with you.
I am one year post op T11-L4 fusion at the Phoenix Mayo Clinic for a 40 degrees scoliosis curve.
I recently read a statement someone made on a Facebook spine surgery page from a person answering a question. The question was, why don’t we hear positive results from surgery. The other person answered and said because those who have positive results have moved on and are living their lives. I really believe this is true. My surgery was amazingly positive, but I still feel the need to hang in here and cheer others on. I hope those of you who have positive results will do the same in the future.
We are all here for you.❤️🙏

@sherrym25: Hi, I had a spinal fusion (T10-pelvis fusion with L4-L5 transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion and L5-S1 transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion with S2AI screws for pelvic fixation). In other words, there is a rod on either side of spine and to stabilize my spine it is now permanently fused to my pelvic bone. I have permanent mobility limitations in bending, lifting (no more than 10 lbs.), twisting. There have been a lot of adjustments in my life because of the surgery--- mentally and physically, but I still wake up thankful for each new day. Thank you for the good wishes 🙂
