Thumbs up New Here...

I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm Justin. I like slow walks on the beach... Anyway, even though my join date shows 2007, I really haven't started posting until this week.

It will be great to get to know everyone here and build a strong community that embraces open discussion about issues that truly matter to spine patients. Thanks for this site Mark, and I hope I can contribute in a meaningful way.

Welcome Justin.

Welcome Sandy L.

There seems to be a mass exodus happening someplace else. Someone's ego must have gotten in the way and bit him in the behind.

I hope we turn this in to a rockin' atmosphere.

Default like slow walks too...

That's a good one Justin. I remember you from before your ADR surgery I believe. I'm glad it served you well for the time it did and hope you will be feeling less or no pain soon enough. As for me, chickened out on more surgery. At least for now. Waiting for TSR (total spine replacement)

Anyway, welcome and glad you are here

Default slow walks

Justin,

It's amazing anyone from Philly is brave enough to walk slowly anywhere (due to muggers).

In north GA, we only walk quickly when we hear banjo music and are asked if we can squeal like a pig.......(re: Deliverence).

Good luck in Belize and with your leg pain. I hope it resolves itself peacefully.

Bob

Justin,

When do you leave for Belize? Does your wife get to join you for any part of it? That would be nice. I have a question for you. I do go get my 6 month post op fusion cat scan and x-ray in roughly 2.5 weeks, but.... this has really been disconcerting to me. I feel and hear this clunk sound in my low back when I move or stretch a certain way. It's a real obvious clunk, almost like something is catching, if you will. I don't know how else to explain it. It has me worried that maybe I'm not fusing and something is messed up with the hardware. Does that remotely sound like a hardware issue? I realize I should know something soon, I'm just wigging out. Some good news: I will be getting some last minute injections in both my trochanteric bursa this Monday, before we leave for Mexico. I hope they help. At 22 below up here in Minnesota yesterday, I can't wait to get out of here for a week! Give me some sunshine, baby! Please keep me posted on your status as well. What's next for you? Besides Belize?!

Cindylou
