The statue of limitations for this runs out next April so I have some time to think about all of this. Boston Scientific was in the OR but they will not say anything. I talked to the rep but they are bound by strict confidentiality guidelines which I understand. I am in the process of trying to get a referal and approval to see a Neuro at Vanderbuilt Hospital in TN. I need someone else to look at me and recommend further testing, look over all my imagining, etc. I really need a second set of eyes to look at all of this and see what they have to say. I may need emergent care though as the numbness has traveled to my groin today (though it is not constant) and I know this is a bad sign. It is just never ending but I will get through all of this eventually. It is just nice that I can vent all of this on ISPINE.ORG sometimes it relieves a little of the frustration as I am sure many of you are aware. Take Care, Greg

re referral
Greg,
Good luck w/this and that sounds like a good plan as well as getting emergent care as necessary. I'm sure you're aware of the condition known as cauda equina and the symptoms so should you think you might be experiencing something leading to that head off to the ER STAT! Otherwise I do hope you'll be able to get that referral and some further insight into what is going on.

Greg I hope that referral comes through for you and quickly. I hope the groin issue is just a passing feeling and nothing else happens to you. You have your hands full with your own body as it is and that house full of young kids. I'm sure you are a great dad . I am in a rush today , taking one of my kids to his first job interview. I need to iron the clothes. I don't iron very often and don't want to mess anything up.,

Hi Dale,
i have been out all day shopping for the clothes too and grocery shopping, with a driver and my kids to carry and put away everything too. I' ve been very bad and not spent any where near enough time resting . So i'd better not complain of the continuing pain! judy

can't imagine
Judy,
I just can't believe you're this active so recently post op. I'm not even sure what you had done though so probably shouldn't comment. Everyone has a different ability to heal and perhaps yours is more rapid? Let's hope so. Maybe you can rest now that you've gotten all that stuff done~ and good to hear you weren't doing the driving or carrying of groceries tho a slip and fall in the grocery store or anywhere would be a huge "no no" as would any sudden jolting vehicular motion so please be careful. take it easy ...

Maria
I am not totall sure what i had done either., Seeing i saw my doc for injections at the surgery center only , i need to have the discussion with him on monday at my first real post op appointment. I know he opened my back up from T7 thru L4. The fusion was extended down to L4. He removed some loose hardwear and screws, took out some insturmentation and may have re instumented some areas at least that was the plan before surgery, He also straightened out my back some more (resulting in better lung capacity) A big surgery and i have been a big dummy as far as thinking back to the last 2 1/2 weeks. Maybe i will start acting like i just had major surgery now judy
