What's up all?!
Haven't been around lately. Had to give up lifting for a while, had no feeling in my legs, left one all the way down to my feet, was a real struggle just to get up or take a dump.
Started going to a chiro beginning of year, and things got worse.
Went to a ortho, started therapy, that got worse after 2 weeks, therapist said go back to doc.He stated everything the chiro was doing (traction/exercises/therapy) was making my issue way worse.
Had mri done, doc said I would need surgery(excessive spondylosis l3-l4 and 2 phuked up disks), therapy wouldn't help.He wanted to do anterior (through the stomach)fusion.
Had a second and third opinion, went with the second surgeon, said posterior is his specialty.
Had fusion surgery in July L3-L4-L5. Took about 3 hours, and went home same day.
Nerve pain GONE !!!!!!!!
My days of lifting heavy are done. too dang old.
Just getting back to lifting now, therapy was rough, but slowly getting better.
Just wanted to give a shout out and tell you guys, that fusion surgery works; at least for me. Being able to walk far and go out hunting makes it all worth it, and having an excuse to have the lady in different positions too !!!!!!
