Hi everyone,
I am going up to Boston tomorrow to get my 5th and (hopefully final) consultation with Dr. Rand. We take a 5:45am train to get in at 11:00 and my appointment is at 12 but we will get a cab and go right there. I can't believe the amount of doctors i have seen for my back. They all agree that it's a mess and they all know it has to go through to the pelvis but there has been a difference of opinion of where to begin either T4or5, or T10. I have had 3 suggest front and back and DR. Boachie said just the back which surprised me. I would rather they start around T4/5 than T10. At this point, I am in so much pain and can barely walk so if I could get it done tomorrow i would. It is a grueling process of picking a surgeon because I suppose it is such an extensive surgery. I would have gone with the first surgeon I saw but it was suggested to me to not let this particular surgeon do such an extensive surgery so I didn't. I have been doing this since June, which was when my original fusion surgeon told me I needed the whole back done and told me that he no longer did that kind of surgery. To say I was upset would be an understatement so tomorrow i will be in Boston. I hope I like Dr. Rand or at least don't dislike him.
