Scary:(
Good luck Loryn, you will be fine!

Good luck Loryn. Ive had some bad sciatica issues in my lower back years ago. Still bugs me from time to time. I've been lucky that im nearly 100% recovered since I injured it back in 99 or 2000. Hope your surgery goes well. :thumbsup

Thank you babe, that means alot. If it can snow in Vegas then anything is possible. :winkwink:

Loryn, I had a spinal fusion done when I was 16, for scholiosis. Had a 45 degree "S" curve in my spine, and they fused T8-11 inclusively. 9 months in a body cast afterwards (and 6 months in one prior to surgery).

One of the toughest times of my life, but after it was all said and done it was so worth it. I went on to play more hockey, did 7 years of kickboxing, and basically could do anything I wanted.

Not the same as what you're having done, and of course surgical techniques are way WAYYY more advanced now than they were in '79. I have no doubt your recovery time will be much shorter than mine and you will come away from it being able to live a much better life, with less pain. (hopefully little to none)

I definitely know what it's like to have back pain, and a big surgery like this. I wish you well and hope it goes far better than expected or hoped for, for you.

CD.

Sending good wishes and hugs from the redneck woods, Loryn!! Wig from WTS waited several years to get back surgery because he was worried about the outcome. He said that even when he was in the recovery room he could feel the difference and how much better he felt - here's hoping yours goes just as well :)

good luck
 

I had spine injury years ago. I didn't go to surgery since I was affraid. After all these years I still have pain and will probably have them in incoming years. Anyway, I remember periods when I hadso strong pains that I would accept anything just not to feel them anymore. Good luck and try to relax.

Thank you very much CD, hearing this really helps. I am scared to death, like I said. If I let myself think of it I start to cry. Hearing that you have gone through this and can play HOCKEY makes me a very very happy woman. You always know what to say CD, I love ya!

If you need to talk, just say the word. I remember what I went through like it was yesterday.

Thank you Peaches. That is one of the main reasons I agreed to go ahead with this surgery, waiting will only make it worse and if i just get the surgery done now I can move forward and put this behind me, IF it comes out okay. :Oh crap

I will for sure! :thumbsup
