Does anyone know if it is possible to go skydiving after spinal surgery? Does hardware removal make a difference?
I asked my surgeon before fusion and he basically just laughed at me... I took that as a no. But, it sounds like the biggest concern was damaging the hardware. Well, due to infection, I had to have all hardware removed a year later. It is now 7 years later, fused spine with no hardware, and am wondering if anyone out there knows if skydiving post-fusion is an option? I have no current plans to do it, but I would like to at some point in the future if possible.
I'm guessing it should be fine, maybe a little soreness for a couple days from the rough movements. But, I don't think it would cause any serious damange.
