Avatar f tn I had a neck fusion in Oct. 2007 as my legs were giving out. I have been left with a right hand that feels like ice on the inside all the time and tingles all the time. Now the top of my right foot is cold for no reason. Just started this week, what should I do?
Avatar m tn fusion was from T11 to sacrum. It feels like there is a "slab" covering the fused area out to 3 inches either side of the spine. It is not painful. I have lower back pain, mild 24////7. It intensifies to major pain if I stand for more than 5 - 10 minutes. It intensifies with any activity involving any lifting, turning stooping etc. I am able to walk with a cane 1//2 mile, 1////4 mile without. I use a treadmill for longer exercise, but must support myself wiht the arms.
Avatar f tn the treatment of listhesis is fixation and not fusion (fusion is the oldest naming maybe still used by some radiologist), SURE your vertebra are fused even if you still have some heaviness in the lower parts of your back.. this is suffucient to have screws at place to say thatthe patient is fused.
Avatar n tn I had a lumbar fusion with screws 1 yr ago. Recently I have experienced some pressure where the screws are and the other day my wife she said I was bruised in the same area as my pain. My question is, since I have not bumped into anything, is if the screws that are inside can cause bruising on the outside?
Avatar f tn Not sure who you are talking to or what you are talking about. Candyce, who started the thread, asked for a link to Frijole's spread sheets. I supplied her with the link and a note that Frijole is no longer updating the spread sheets (consequently nothing on the new meds or Cosmos trial is on those spread sheets). However, they may be of interest to look at. No one is updating the spread sheets now and, as far as I know, no one will be.
Avatar f tn Anyway, when he was a new author his agent got him an interview with an editor where King was presenting his manuscript. The editor liked it a lot and was attempting to charm Steve with a lot of freindly chit-chat. Poor Steve was terrified, and got that dry mouth can't talk response. All he could do, finally, was get up and squeak, "Me go now," to the editor and high tail it outta there.
Avatar f tn Ran into an article in the Journal for the American Academy of Family Practitioners published this month, telling doctors that Levothyroxine is the ONLY valid treatment for hypo and to trust the TSH. I called the Academy and was transferred to the editor of the Journal and advised him of the more current articles (that I published here) conducted and published in Europe and now published by the NIH.

Avatar n tn I did read that gingers, like green onion, garlic, Sichuan pepper, pepper and chili, are considered hot ingredients and harmful to people with diseases hot in nature, of which hepatitis is one. Other "hot" diseases include common cold, dysentery, psychosis, diabetes, cancer, nephritis, rheumatism, wintercough, high blood pressure, etc. As for vitamins, they need to come from vegetables/fruits, not from labs.
Avatar f tn I had ACDF with a titanium plate at C5-C6 and I swear that when it is really cold outside that I can feel the coldness of the actual titanium plate. Is this actually possible and does anyone else experience this? It is not painful, just noticible.
Avatar m tn Should read "respiratory symptoms" on my last post. (Sorry, it's the editor in me.

Avatar n tn I have been taking Norco 10/325 at 5 to 6 a day for disc fusion at C5-6 level for 4 years now. Presently starting second day of detox. It is a forced detox as no refills filled on a holiday. My situation is I have another fusion (C6-7) on Thursday and would like to not have to go through this insanity again. Any information would be greatly useful.
Avatar f tn The C1 / C2 vertebra (called the atlas and axis) allow rotational motion of the head. Fusion of C1/C2 will severely restrict your ability to turn your head. There are 6 cervical discs (C2-C3 to C7-T1) that allow flexion (forward bending) and extension (backward bending) of the neck. In general, whenever you fuse three discs, you tend to loose 50% of your ability to look up and down.
Avatar n tn I had an anterior cervical fusion of c4/5. 5/6, 6/7 in April 2004. Everything went very, very well. Over the past several months I have experienced some tingling in my arms, some weakness. After a further MRI, I found out I have further progression of a prolapsed disc at C7/T1 and osteophytes at T1/T2. I have been receiving ESI for this and it has helped. My question is what type of excercise can I do to strengthen my neck muscles and not do further damage to my neck.?
Avatar n tn Does anyone know of a cervical spinal fusion reversal that has proven effective and has a relatively high percentage of good results? I had a spinal fusion that looks great in an MRI but caused a large increase in pain level. I have gone from a 6 to a 10 pain level.
Avatar f tn All through out the years of having back pain, it never caused me any grief to sneeze or cough, not even after my back fusion with instrumentation in feb of this year. I became sick with a simple chest cold last week and for the first time in my life, the constant coughing and sneezing is killing my back. I'm shocked at the pain its producing. My back now feels inflammed and it hurts to walk normal. I'm just riding my cold out to see if my back pains in my fusion area goes away.
Avatar m tn One day i described how I had these horrible headaches that were like migraines but were not relieve by migraine medications, she said you are probably suffering from tension headaches caused by your neck muscles and probably due to the fusion at C3-C4 I had. The only other home remedy I have is that I use a cold pack that wraps around my neck similarly to a cervical collar as well and the cold seems to help a lot!!! (I never use heat because for me, it makes things worse!) Good luck!!!
1801719 tn?1320669957 I still have pain mostly at the top fusion at the c3/4 level with problems swallowing. I take a combo of hydrocodone, soma and valium. The combo helps alot and allows me to function. You should prob have some follow up mri/xrays to make sure everything is healing properly. Fusion never rids the pain 100 percent but mostly keeps the site from worsening while relieving the "pinched" nerves. Weather can have an impact also rainy or cold days are the worst for me!

965215 tn?1274955173 He took an xray and noticed the anchors from the lt repair were coming out. He fixed that with the fusion. Since the fusion I have had two xrays. One at 10 days post op and the other one after I had my cast removed. Other then some physical therapy and those two xrays I have not had any other test done. The Doctor said I have a 14% impairment rating. ( this is workers comp) and has put me at MMI.
