Spinal fusion with pelvic fixation (T-3 to pelvis).

Posted by allison49 @allison49, 1 day ago

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.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Spine Health Support Group.

Try MFR there’s a great section on it here. Try a couple different MFR therapist and find some good ones go a couple times a month. Your insurance will cover it. You might have to work with the political situation in place that is to get it all covered, but you will need attention for the rest of your life like I do. Good luck.
