Looks like im getting the fusion

[Presser]

As luck would have it i reinjured myself tuesday doing back, well not realy reinjured myself as i was never fixed, i only had 3 epidural shots to kill the pain and it worked and ive been back in gym for 2 weeks or so and then i wake up yesterday and cant move my neck,

So May 1st I have a Doctor appointment to schedule my neck fusion.

So i might be going another summer withouth being in great shape, i rested yesterday with no gym and its still killing me today,

Im going to try to hit the gym again today anyhow and see what happens but i just cant believe this shit, i was hoping for a solid 6-12 months of pain relief.

And these assholes could have given me the fusion last year whne this shit happened and i wold have been healed and good to go by now, but now i have to deal with this shit.

anyways just ranting, and im still going to the gym, i finaly started feeling good in there and fuck it im going to try to keep going

sorry man....any idea of how many levels need fused?

 

[Presser]

no, i just know its c4 through 7 they said where the herniations were from, im so mad at myself as i was literally almosy pain free for 2 weeks, and then tuesday I loaded up weight like i had no business loading with an injury and didnt feel the pain until the next day, its my own fucking fault for max racking shit and loading dumb weight

 

[Jpotch]

shucks, sorry to hear this. But if it will alleviate your pain and discomfort, I'm all for quality of life brother.

My mother and a good friend has had their necks fused. They both fought it for years and after having it done they both said they should have done it from day one.

Get it done, from people I know it will solve a lot of problems you're having.

Best of luck dude...

Shit this blows bro! Try to focus on how much better you're going to feel and look when you're completely healed up! Age is just a number bro, besides with your knowledge and experience you'll always look and feel years younger than you are.

It's about time. The sad thing is that you knew you needed that from day 1

Damn Presser, I'm so sorry to hear that you are hurt again. I was so happy for you to be back at the gym. Well, might as well get it done now and get on with your life. Once healed you will bounce right back. If you saw me two years ago you would've never thought I even lifted a weight, but now good as new as you will be. How long is the healing process?

I hear its a solid 6 weeks of rest no gym for healing up after the fusion, I did take 3 dyas off now since i hurt myself again doing back 3 days ago and i feel much much better, and will most likely keep working out but not heavy like i was doing like an idiot, and still demanding the fusion Tuesday when i see my Dr for the follow up from this last epidural shot,

It's good that you're feeling better. Definitely keep it light. You don't want to do any more damage.

Seriously If you get the fusion listen to these medical people. They actually have to go to school for this shit. The first 6 weeks or so are crucial as the fusion is underway. I know a guy who took his neck brace off after fusion and didnt listen and has had problems ever since. I have a two level fusion but in my lower spine. My back is good now but I listened and didnt do anything even though I got fat. Just get all the good channels like hbo,showtime etc because you will be watching alot of TV. Its ok though you must let your body heal.
