Lumbar Fusion of L5 S1 Animation

[@lethull]

I suffered for 3 years with severe pain and loss of instant mobility. I was afraid of back surgery but had no choice. The pain took over my life. in 2011, I had my L5-S1 fused along with a disc implant. Just like in the video. Although, to minimize scar tissue in my back, my surgeon went thru the front and the incision was done on lower abdomen. I was walking a climbing stairs within 2 days. NO back or sciatic pains at all. After several months, to be safe, I was golfing and doing light jogging. Thankful for the procedure, my surgeons, and modern medicine. I got my life back.

[@poky1]

And what about the pain after the surgery? How was it? Did you leave the hospital the same day? How you spend the night? Sorry I'm about to have the same surgery and I'm very scare u.u

[@lethull]

@@poky1 When I woke up from recovery and the anesthesia wore off, the pain in the back was gone! At that point I smiled at my wife and said I haven't felt this good in years. We were ecstatic. They kept me for 2 full days to ensure there was no infection or issues and for me to start the therapy. After the 1st night, I was getting out of bed on my own and walking to the bathroom. And therapy started. Which I passed with no problem. The only pain I had was in my lower stomach from where the incision was made. Good luck to you. It's a breeze. Let me know how it goes.

[@dhananjysvoice]

I had L5 S1 problem for almost 2 years. I met Nurosurgeon 1 month ago and he advised me to go for surgery. But I decided not to go for surgery. I started daily exercises (related to waist). It has been almost 10 days now. I am regularly running 4-5 km and doing physical exercise. I have got a lot of relief from pain. I hope I will get rid of this problem by doing exercises. I want to tell all those brothers and sisters that they should not go for surgery suddenly. There are other options too. Life is precious.

[@luisolvera5574]

Hi, did you have any neurological symptoms apart from back pain?

[@olliestratton9960]

I got a full spinal fusion when I was 15. I had severe scoliosis (75 degrees if I remember correctly), and the doctors said I would be at a 90 degree angle by the time I was 20 if I didn't get this surgery. It was the most painful thing I've been through to this day. I was stuck in bed for about a month, post op depression was a bitch, and my parents had to sleep in shifts because I had to take pain meds every few hours 24/7. Although it was a rough recovery, it was the best decision I made. I can now fully walk and run just fine. The only thing is that I can't bend my spine (obviously) but that's not too bad. My back pain has gotten SO much better too. Anyone who's scared to get this surgery, don't worry! It's okay to be scared, normal even. But everything will be okay in the end and you'll be glad you did it :)

How much of your spine was fused? My daughter needs spine surgery in a month and they want to go straight to the pelvis. She has osteogenesis imperfecta and a part of me doesn't want to do the pelvis so she can still be able to have partial ability to walk

[@olliestratton9960]

@@missduckieee mine was everything but the lumbar, so like 3/4 of it is fused. So I don't have any experience with the lower side being fused. I wouldn't worry about not being able to walk. It takes a while, but with enough healing and physical therapy she should be okay. I understand your worries though, but I believe that it'll be worth it in the long run

I'm not a professional, but i consider myself educated on back pain. I have had C6/7 fusion, as the disc was totally destroyed, my entire left arm went numb, and my bicep/tricep/pectoral muscles all atrophied to waste. That surgery has helped me tremendously, but it was a last resort only after the disc completely started pressing on the nerve. I have 6 other herniated discs, degeneration & severe stenosis. My lumbar discs are really bad, and ive been a "candidate" for surgery for years. I have successfully avoided surgery, and my pain is now quite .manageable. I eat healthy, i exercise,im 52 with a 30 inch wasteline, i use an inverted bench, a spinal decompression bench,hot epsom salt baths, and a heating pad. For pain, i take Kratom and turmeric/bosweillia.I still go through periods of pain that feels like an icepick in my back, numbness/tingling down my leg, and my sciatic nerve twitching and feeling like a hot rubber band in my butt cheek. But its manageable now. Maybe it will help others, im not sure. Definitely helped me. Good luck all my pain companions!

He did exactly that. Less than 3 months later I ran a half marathon with no pain. The neurosurgeon would have ruined my back for a lifetime.

The body will often reabsorb some of the protruding disc over time & pain+cramps will often greatly diminish. I went natural & the situation gradually improved over 2 years. I would recommend isometric exercises (buttocks, thighs, tummy scrunches) lying immobile on side if you have much pain to strengthen the lower back and hips which helps alot. Simple walking is great if you can. It can build strength, stamina & flexibility alone (40 min 3x per week as a goal you can build up to. Don't bother with other exercises except maybe swimming, avoid any heavy weights) Also, very important to lose weight if you are overweight to lessen stress on spine, eat nutritious food ie. low carb/fresh diet.

[@stevewarfel5788]

I believe you have metal. That holds things in place until the true fusion occurs when the harvested bone forms a solid bond. The bone from your hip is ground up and mixed with some shit to help it grow. It is placed around the vertebrae and in time will become a solid bony connection.

@@ToThoseWhoVanished as far as I know, spinal (bone) TB, if not in a too-advanced stage, can be treated and cured with multiple drug therapy, usually over a long period of time. However, it the condition has resulted in serious deformity with the risk of paralysis, corrective surgery might be necessary (after which drug therapy continues). I'd prefer a neuro surgeon to work on the spine, but the final choice can be subject to several factors, such as medical aid cover, availability in one's region, urgency of the procedure.

[@scott2228]

glitchez yes, I woke up in the hospital bed in pain I never knew existed. And that pain never left. I was told the “surgical pain” could take 6 months to pass. In never did. I ended up on a 7 day psych hold once the pain broke me. It (the pain) cost me my job, marriage, friends...etc. due to various reasons. Dr’s will no longer treat me bc I fall outside their parameters of “treatable.” I no longer take pain medication bc... no dr’s. I manage now with herbal remedies like Kratom, ice packs & heating pads and Cymbalta for nerve damage. I’m now only 42. Looking back, my life would have been manageable if I never had the fusion. I still have 2 more herniated disks in the thoracic spine but that’s another story. I went to a different surgeon 2 years after the fusion and he confirmed the surgery was done correctly. I was just the 1 out of 10 that had “failed back surgery syndrome” Moral of the story: unless your life is completely over, and I’m talking over over.....It shouldn’t even be a consideration. PS. The herb Kratom is the only reason I am even able to get out of bed. Drs don’t want to talk about it bc big pharma doesn’t make $ off it.
