  • Dr report

    I finally received the Dr.s report that was sent to worker's comp. Mentioned was "posterior surgery from approximately T3c or T4 to sacrum". I had not picked up on the T3c at my appointment. I'm curious as to the "c" in the T3c. Any help would be super appreciated.
    Pam your power point pics were SOOOO cool. Even my hubby looked at them and he doesn't like that sort of stuff I find it fascinatining. I couldn't get him to watch a video of a fusion by Dr Alberts @ Jefferson, though that had all the fun sounds.

    Hi....

    I suspect it's a typo. I've never heard of vertebrae called by anything but 2 characters.

      Thanx, that what I figured. The only thing that came up for T3C was prostate cancer related(being a female and talking about spines that just wouldn't work)
