Back Surgery + 3 Days

I ended up with a hole in my spinal sac after my back surgery.
For seven weeks, every time I moved my head I got an instant migraine.

Never realized your spinal cord is in a pressurized sac.

Had a herniation blow out and part of the disc broke off and became a floater.
Hope all is well...
 
Rock your physical therapy so you can start rocking guitar again! Cheers to a speedy recovery!!!

Best advice yet my dude.


“We are all fragile mortals at somepoint”

I had to have both of my hips replaced
5 weeks apart from hips to titanium hips
at 46 years old.
Those grueling MRI’s…-I know that tube!
The blinking green & red lights and motorized machines keeping your body alive..

Why your advice is so critical to proper healing unique to yourself is:
It’s not so much the surgery,
it’s the new you that’s been “modified”
and things are always going to be different.
The smoothest way by nature to bridge
this bold reality is your unshakeable determination with the physical therapies that follow when you finally get home from living at the hospital.
-Things can easily heal wrong by nature due to the surgery.
-you don’t want to walk away with that.
Complacency kills, always paints you in the corner.

You gotta make “quality” outta that physical therapy man, it’s your life.

i've never been more committed than I am now about PT and core-strengthening! Really taking it serious, don't want to have to do this again.

My whole mentality when I went in for surgery was that the surgeon was there to do a repair.
Healing is on me.

So many people told me not to get the surgery...
 
insanely fast and easy. almost to the point of being outpatient. check out "minimally invasive microdiscectomy" on youtube, there are a dozen vids, it's CRAZY how far we've come with back surgery in the last 20 years.

Immediate relief, as soon as I came out of sedation, pain was gone from my leg.
Excellent to hear! Hope you are good as new..... make sure to buy the extended warranty.

I have lingering back issues from a head on snowmobile collision, and just had a week of agony with a slipped disk last week....not fun, at all.....if it keeps being an issue, I might resort to surgery.

After my first back surgery, I felt the same way.
So much pain relief, pain killers weren't really needed.

However, when they had to go back in to fix the leak, they went back in thru the same spot and all the new scar tissue and that was a little more painful after the fact...
 
hope you're better now!
Yup, just over two years ago.
Havent felt this good in a long time.

Funny, when I went in for my MRI, surgeon asked when I broke my back?

I told him I didnt, but in 2004 I went out of work after hearing a pop in my back and I couldnt move. Back then I drove truck delivering propane gas. I made 72 deliveries that day, ugh...
I remember back then staring at my Harley knowing I was in way too much pain to ride.
Owner of business put me out of work and told me he would pay me my salary. No disability, no comp.
Never thought to get x-rays and figure out what was really going on, back then they filled you with pain killers and gave you six weeks off.
I had bills to pay.

Now, I guess I have broken my back too...

I remember repeating this
lyric I modified from Brandon Flowers
of The Killer’s


“If you can’t hold on,
If you can’t hold on,
-HOLD ON”.
