I had delayed fusion at 5 1/2 months. I am 8 months now and having had 4 cts within a month back in march and April I cant have anymore to check fusion for awhile. ( not sure how long ). I was told an x ray doesnt show fusion so how do I know if and when I have fusion, and how long do you wait for this? I had an x ray recently and asked the dr if there was fusion and he didnt answer me.. I sat there with no reply. Did he not answer because its too late ? he also told me to go ahead and take NSAIDS all I want now for the pain.Is there a point where it won't fuse anymore or can it take a year or even more so you wait and hope?
I have a alot of burning and stinging in the hardware all the time. Each day is really a struggle and I think I'm addicted to Oxycodone. I move certain ways and my body sweats and I turn into an oven yet I feel clammy with no fever. I have degeneration at the top of the rod ( neck ) T-2 and the bottom of the rods at T-11 and both areas cause alot of odd pressure and weakness pushing me forward.
I havent found a new surgeon interested in helping me in MN. They all tell me to go back to my surgeon and wont acknowelege my stinging and burning pain even in their medical reports. One said he was my surgeons partner for years.Too late for fusion or still keep hoping ? I would like the implants removed.
