Hi everyone,
I'll try and make this as short and brief as possible. As of September '13 I have had 4 scoliosis surgeries with the two most recent being September 5 & 6th. My doctor had to remove T11 because it had broken and after my 2nd surgery in May (after he put in new lumbar rods) and I ended up with a full fusion from C3-S1.
Anyway, my question is this, ever since then, the pain I feel is from T11 on down. Does anyone else have a vertebra that broke and had to be filled in and fused? If so, does the uncomfortable feeling ever go away? I just don't feel comfortable and don't feel like I've progressed anymore. I'm done with PT (3 rounds) and don't have any other ideas as to what to do. I just want to lay in bed or on the couch not doing anything hoping it will get better.
I have had my follow-up x-rays and they look great however I don't feel great. I can feel my rods and I swear I can feel them shift around where T11 used to be. It's just getting too much for me anymore and I have no one to turn to so I wanted to come here and see what you all thought...
