Went to see Dr. Orr today. I was told IF he were to operate on me, it would require a fusion from T3- Pelvis. Holy crap. He acts like he doesnt want me to do it yet because I dont act like its "bad enough" yet. Basically said im only 30, and the way this would change my life should wait as long as possible. Does this make sense? My curves are DEFINATELY progressing, so I guess he's leaving the decision up to me. Said he didnt think I'd be able to go back to work at my current job, that if I can continue taking "reasonable amounts" of pain meds, (10 mg. percosets), that maybe I should think about holding off.
Also, the MRI showed that I have 2 cysts somewhere around my pelvis. Anyone else? That if I were to say, fall and burst one of them, it would be tremendous pain for a few weeks. I know, I dont exactly have all the terminology here, but when I get the written report Ill update this.
I need to hear from those of you that have had such long fusions. What can and can't you still do? Titanium Ed, Im pretty sure you can still ski, right? Theres no way I can put this off. Im 30. This daily pain has been dealt with for 15 years now.
