I had this surgery also but they cut me though my stomach A lift .. my bone graft did not fuse and I got lower extremities weakness and chronic pain I have 3 kids and I’m 32 I would say I’m worst now then before my surgery ….please please think twice before doing surgery .. good luck

[@HappyHippo3D]

It took ten years for the pain to go away after this. Pain free now. It's a long road friends. I can walk again due to this.

What about your flexibility??? Can you bend now ?? Where from you??

[@richard1493]

I had a PLIF done to my L4 to S1 when I was 26 and I absolutely could not recommend against it more unless it was a necessity. In the years after my surgery, my chronic pain spread and intensified significantly and my bones still haven’t began fusing yet. My lumbar mobility became so limited that I had to leave my career and my mental health deteriorated greatly. I struggle to experience any satisfaction or enjoyment in life and it has gotten to the point where I sincerely feel that the only reason I am sticking around is because I have a family to care for. I spend the majority of my time now between treatment for chronic pain and the depression I began having after surgery. I had the surgery because my vertebrae were continuing to slip over my early 20s, eventually reaching 56% slippage. In my case I either had to get the surgery done now when it was inconvenient or later down the line when it was life threatening. Overall it was a terrible experience that was not worth the consequences. In hindsight, I would have rather enjoyed the rest of my youth and dealt with persistent pain than to have tried to remedy it. PLIF exacerbated my symptoms to the point where they now consume my life.

Did you go for 2nd opinion from another neurology surgeon...?

@@Ernestseitisho I was on active duty at the time so I had two second opinions done before having the surgery.

Pain is removed by this surgery?

[@AtlanticSpineCenter]

Typically yes, but every case varies. Always speak with a medical professional about your prospective outcomes as every body is different.

[@kawabanga420]

Боль да, но подвижность в позвоночнике снижается

[@TreDogOfficial]

Is there any way to repair the disk without fusing the joint? I want my spine to be just as flexible as before. Stem cell therapy might be of interest.

[@AtlanticSpineCenter]

We specialize in minimally invasive technique. This is a common procedure elsewhere but for us, it has become a less frequent option. We only use it for specific cases, when it is the person's best path to better spine health. Always seek out specialists that will explore your options with you and be honest with you.

After multiple surgeries, I have had a PLIF, ALIF, and XLIF.

[@AtlanticSpineCenter]

Sounds like you had quite the journey to recovery. How are you feeling now?

[@dorothyholden9534]

How are you doing now? I am curious , I go to the Nero next week, after 30 plus years of ablations, blocks, over 40 at least, my low back is bad. Two slipping discs , spur on my lower lumbar, the hip Amd pain in the groin in awful, I just keep getting tighter in gluts, down legs, sciatica is horrible. I want to know does anyone have this or even part of it and has any success doing this? I am absolutely petrified. I just want my life back or even part of it.

[@celiajean7093]

I am currently in preliminary assessment for mild stenosis, scoliosis, and degenerative osteoarthritis. I too would like to know why a "frontal" approach to this procedure is being recommended by my surgeon.

[@camiangel9]

Y ya lo operaron? Que piensan hacerle con su estenosis?

[@petrospetropoulos9939]

There are many types of spinal surgery. Unfortunately you can't repaire or replace disks. Think twice a spinal operation. Look for pro disk II. This have good results. But the disk do not absorb like physical disks. That's the problem.

[@demonslet]

Was your certification hard to get? I've been interested in that career, but have bad lumbar discs lol hope heavy lifting isn't required.

[@blyxx7450]

@lone556wolf2 It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. Especially being in my mid 40s at the time and not being in school since I graduated. I definitely had to study. I didn't feel like the certification test was any harder than any of the classes I had to take. I have a degenerative disc in my lower spine. I do go home sore sometimes. I work overnight so it's not near as busy as the day shift.

Depends on the patient + their personal factors. Best to discuss 1-on-1 with a spine surgeon. Our practice is located in NJ + NYC. Happy to help!

[@daliadalia7043]

I think that surgery type is better than traditional one Because they don't completely remove the original disc

You can't. You are stuck. It affects the rest of your life and makes it more challenging. I have 6 disks, 5 in the L region, and 1 in the S region. No no matter how bad it gets, I won't get it done, I don't want to be a statue at 48 years old.

I’ve read that fusion surgeries are the absolute worst to go through with. They rarely work & the majority of the time post surgery the patient is worse.

[@DayOneAdeleFans]

I’m living it. Now returning to Mayo for another op. Worst pain I’ve ever had in my entire life and this is coming from someone with a very high pain tolerance.

[@x_warhog_x8701]

I just had a 2 level ACDF with a C5 corpectomy and knew going in that it might not help any of my symptoms and was done to keep the spinal stenosis from becoming worse.

[@robertmandell526]

It's not the fusion, per se. It's the massive destruction of vertebral structure--laminectomies and removal of spinoff processes, as well as massive dissection of paraspinal muscles, all leaving massive tissue insults requiring up to a year for healing, and permanent post operative morbidity, pain, and disability. THIS TECHNIQUE SHOULD BE BANNED.

[@ryanwellington7493]

Well it changes your morphology it's going to cause biomechanical issues which are known to cause other issues such as arthritis, tendonitis, atrophy etc... Long term.
