Every move I make, every breath I take this pain zaps me. Has anyone else had anything like this?

I was fused to the sacrum 6 years ago.

Thank you Linda. I’m fused from T3;-S1. No illiacs and no hardware from T3 to L2. I had an MRI done for pain that is shooting from my neck into my skull. The cervical MRI shows bulging disc at...

If so I would love to hear your experience.

So you are now fused from Cervical to sacrum? Do you have motion in your neck?

I can’t imagine being able to do a plank. It hurts to just lean over to pet my dog. It hurts under my left shoulder blade the most. My hunch side is my right.

Has anyone been fused thoracic to sacrum! Then developed cervical thoracic problems? So much pain all of a sudden.

Thank you to anyone who can give me info.

I was never told about bad placement. When they took my illiacs out, I was told the screw was shakey in me. It had causes metalosis.

I had a deep wound infection caused by hardware. It basically disintegrated in my spine. I had all hardware removed when it was discovered.

Symptoms:

Tired
Felt like I had the flu
Weight...

I have had a lumbar screw tightened. It’s loose again. Doctor wants to fix it but told me it’s not an emergency and we can wait u til I just have to have it done.

I haven't been on here in ages! I wanted to post, since a few people have recently contacted me.

I had Harrington rods as a child. I had them replaced when I was 30 with Moss Miami...

Thanks for the reply Ed. I can’t imagine getting my ear to my shoulder. My scoliosis is pretty bad in the neck. Both arms are numb at night. I’m going for nerve testing in Sept.

I haven’t been on this forum in years. I have had multiple surgeries. A few years ago I was also diagnosed with a new uncorrected cervical scoliosis. Apparently this is rare from what I’ve...

This is so awesome. I spent a year in a cast at the age of 14. Then went through 4 more revisions. The young people are so lucky to not go through what I’ve been through.

Thanks Jackie, I'm going for X-rays this week. I am already fused from t3- to s1. Everything above t3 is painful and then everything below meaning my knees and feet.

Has anyone had a third curve? I have had a lumbar, thoracic and now cervical curve. It's so painful and I'm going for an X-ray to see how much it progressed. Has anyone had surgery for the neck...

Babyboomer, my feet feel like someone hammered them all night while I was sleeping. The minute they touch the floor is miserable. All the podiatrists claim it is spinal surgery related. It wasn't...

I have had several spinal reconstructions . Now that I'm 56 I want to warn others of things that are associated with multiple surgeries..

1. I had a thoracoplasty. Not a,common procedure but it...

My hardware was removed because of infection. I was fused in 1976, then a revision in 1994 with a deep wound infection. The rods remained out until 2013 with out even the slightest change to my...

Leah, I was on the forum about 3 years ago daily complaining about the same issue. Mine was/is so severe it causes pain down a leg. It started as a pinch when I moved. After one year of having...

I actually had all hardware removed twice. I had partial hardware put back in. It's been 20 years, no increase in curve. Just pain from a rare surgery called. A thoracoplasty which reduced my rib...

I see lots of views but no response to post. Just really want to let others know how painful this procedure can be if thinking about it. you will also get severe shortness of breath.

I see lots of Views on this post but no response. I know this surgery was rare. I actually had no clue it was being done back in 1994. No details given. I did have a few lung problems but recently...

I had all my thoracic hardware removed 20 years ago due to infection. 3 years prior to that I had a right sided thoracoplasty
Now I am fused to the sacrum. Terrible pain n the thoracoplasty....

I was sick and tired from about 3 to 4 months after they put my rods in that time. The bump didn't show up on my scar until 2 years post op. Have you had someone press on your entire scar for a soft...

I don't know if they did run those back when I had the infection. They only ran the culture for 5 days when I was feeling bad in October and infection was suspected again. What is ANA?
