Hi all,
Its been a while. Life got really chaotic and I have spent the last several months trying to just "get fused" and deal with life in general.
In any case, I went back and saw my surgeon again about 2 weeks ago and was told that I am now fused. The rods did not break this time, though there was an AWFUL LOT of popping, grinding, and cracking going on for a while. I am finally now starting to get some relief. I've been off pain meds for quite a while, mostly due to the allergy issue, but before that had occasionally been on low dose liquid hydrocodone about once every few weeks (so that the allergic reactions weren't too bad).
It would appear that the non-unions were probably a result of a few "mistakes" made by my old surgeon, since this time I fused very quickly in the areas in question.
I thought I would update now that I have something pleasant to share
I will try to be around more often.
