Hi everyone,
I dont usually post but im curious as to whether anyone has had the problem im haivng.
Im 3 months post-op and I was fused T2-L4, posterior fusion with costoplasty.
My back looks AMAZING and I owe everything to my surgeon for transforming how I look.
It was a 10hr surgery and he did say my spine was very stiff and very hard work so I am grateful that at the age of 45 my spine is straight!
After my surgery I was having excrutiating pain in my groin/hip on the side I had the costoplasty.It was so bad I couldnt walk for 5wks apart from getting to the bathroom.
My surgeon said it was because he had done a lot of work in that area.
Once I started getting about more the pain eased but a lump has appeared in my groin, I googled it and its showing all the signs of a hernia :-(
Its so painful when I walk which is hindering what I do-1st thing in the morning is especially painful.
I had my post op check last week and he jokingly said it wasnt him, but he examined me and said it could be a weak muscle and that we are to wait as its too early to say.
I went a walk yeaterday and it was so painful.
Has anybody had this problem and is it possible to develop a hernia after this surgery due to all the pressure thats applied?
I would be grateful for any feedback on this.
