Hey!
So, I was wondering if anyone has ran in to a similar situation...
I had my thoracic fused when I was 10, and now i'm 20. I was really in to horseback riding as a child so the surgeon left my lumbar un-fused so I could still have some flexibility for when I rode. Well now i've ran in to aching pain that i've been dealing with for a good 2+ years that's preventing me from sleeping. Everyone's told me it's because I am riding and running (two of the worst things you can do for your back). They've also told me I will need my lumbar fused because the riding has taken a toll on my lower spine. My mom had her spine fused a long time ago without instrumentation and she is now fearing that my instrumentation is causing the problem. So she is also against another surgery, so we will keep playing with the alternatives for a bit.
So i'm curious if anyone has had a full spinal fusion? Is there anyone that has had the full spinal fusion and horseback rides? Or is there anyone that has had there thoracic fused and horseback rides, if so, do you experience pain?
Thanks guys
