I think my back is doing great all things considered. Still working and if I overdo, a good night in bed fixes me up. No pain meds. However, have started having hip pain - definitely believe it is...
I had groin pain, thigh pain, which was new pain that prompted me to seek help, and numbness on bottom of right foot I had had for years really. I didn't really notice the numbness too much except...
I have X-rays , but not sure how you load them here. I just looked at my films again and they definitely look like screws. I have a copy of my op report somewhere here in my office. I can't...
Yup. They are long screws and go across my SI joints. I occaisionally have sharp pain at the end (I think) of the right one - today I felt some pain there for the first time since January, so it...
Update on pain over hardware/screws in sacrum area. It lasted about a month, then went away. When I saw my surgeon for one year post op, no complaints. He said to let him know if it recurred and...
I sound similar to you. Harrington Rod T4-L4 39 years ago, L2-S1 fusion with screws into pelvis across SI Joints 3/2016. I was on NSAIDS x 20 years, deep tissue massage x5 years, and many other...

4 months post op now, pain med free and NSAIDS back on board! I feel like a new person getting back on my regular medication, meloxicam. Working pretty much like before but with a lifting...
I did have the selective nerve root injection in Janulary and it gave me complete pain relief of the groin and leg pain. I decided to go ahead with the surgery - anchoring into my existing fusion at...
Linda,
I see this thread is older, but am interested in what you found out. I am looking at having a fusion to the sacrum below my original T3-L3 fusion and that is a concern of mine, right up...
I have visited this site many times in the past and this is my first time to post. I have been impressed with the caring and support I have seen (read!) and I now find myself wanting to seek others...
