Thoracic Surgeon

[Shebo]

The medical community is definitely frustrating. The bad part is there are several great thoracic spine surgeons in the area but they all belong to the same practice. They say they do revision surgery on their website. Hmmm.

How are you doing?

Shebo thanks for asking about me. Well I am still in a neck brace . It is a new one so something tells me my spine surgeon is no where near ready to get me out of this. I have one area of pain in my neck where there is a bump, i am wondering if that is the loose screws that i have at C4.
The rest of my fused spine is doing pretty well.
Now the lumbar area is a pain in the butt literally. It also goes down my legs, more prominent on the left side. My doc was going to take out the screws in L2 and put in cement as i fractured in surgery there.
But i think with the amount of pain i am having i also have lumbar stenosis going on. I have read up on it and i have all the symptoms. I'll discuss this with him in 2 weeks.

Sorry it was so long, i could add alll my other health problems, but i dont want to bore you to tears!!
