Hi there!
I'm new to this forum, I had my spinal fusion 30 years ago in Cleveland Ohio by Dr.Herndon who has since passed. I've been active for this whole time and doing well up until a head on car accident a year ago March while on the job.
I had immediate pain around my 1 lower left rod and all the doctors I've seen have stayed clear of dealing with this issue but have been more than willing to as you all say write those PERSCRIPTIONS!!! I had set up an appointment on my own with U.H. of Cleveland only to have wkmns comp deny the visit so...I'm now wearing thin of my efforts to still try but will prevail! I had one doctor tell me that once the fusion has taken place there's nothing that can happen to the hardware, that he thought I was just worried about it. There are times more that not I feel as though something is jabbing me in the back and I have difficulty walking any distance. I also have bulging discs at all levels now as well which the doctors also said nothing can be done. If anyone has any imput I would truely appreciate it.
