Linda, this procedure appears so promising, I pray this time around you get that much needed, long term relief. Keep icing. Keep posting. We're here for you.
My best, Cindylou

Linda,
Crossing everything that this one lasts forever for you! Is your revision on hold or off when you are better from this? Praying for you! Kathy

Thanks everyone for all of the encouraging words. As far as the revision, it is just too early to tell. My back is so crooked because of the placement of the ProDiscs that I can't imagine that isn't going to continue to cause me problems. You can tell how crooked it is from a front view in the mirror. If the Fibrin sealant gives me significant relief I will probably not look at revision, at least not now. My disks have been in since 2002 and probably won't come out that easily. I don't know what I am going to do for sure other than pray that this works for a very long time. With God nothing is impossible even if it looks impossible. Thanks again for the sweet words of encouragement. I have been very discouraged. I have been so isolated for going on 3 years now. I am ready to get out and try to be somewhat normal again. As you all know, pain really sucks the life right out of you.
Bless you all, Linda

Hang in there Linda. You've gone through a lot of rough roads and continue to come out swinging. God Bless You. I pray that you are healed sooner than later.

update
Hello all,
I got my Fibrin sealant done on the 18th of February so I am now going on 4 weeks. I have not needed any pain medicine for the last 3 weeks which is really good but if I get up and try to do too much I still feel some pain so it hasn't completely left me but it is tolerable. I just thought I better post an update. Because of the placement of my artificial disks in the lumbar area it will be a wait and see if this works and for how long. It sure seems to be working for lots of other people. Best wishes, Linda

Linda,
