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 n tn Good luck with ur fusion surgery!!
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 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!
Avatar f tn I am 27 yrs old on nov 12, 09 i have my second surgery this one being an anterior spinal fusion @ L4-L5. prior to surgery i had moderate to severe pain in my right & left sides, also had muscle weakness primarily the right side.. since my surgery my pain is severe constantly.. im not able to sit, walk, stand for any significant amounts of time at all.. i have sharp pains that best described as taking my breath away and very intense..
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.
Avatar m tn I then passed out and woke up with the physio standing in front of me calling my name. I was in a cold sweat, very weak and had to be helped to an adjacent bed where I lay for 30 minutes until I felt a little better. I was then sent to my GP who advised an MRI scan. It turned out I had quite a large herniated disc in the c5/c6 region which is very unusuall for a 27 year old.
535089 tn?1400673519 I will undergo an MRI and see the Surgeon on the 27th of this month and will know the outcome then. Surgery has been tossed around as they would extend the fusion at C4&5 to C6&7. This would be the most likely of events. I hope that everyone has been well and I can't wait to start chatting with you all again.
1681435 tn?1308574411 recently though i have been experiencing pain in the back of my neck running accross my shoulder and down my right arm causing numbness tingling and extream cold in said arm and hand. i also get that dull, just hit your funny bone, ache/pain in my elbow and shoulder and now in the last couple of days in my finger joints.....i had an mri scan a few days ago, and awaiting the results, unfortunately they won;t be through for another 2-3 weeks.....
276983 tn?1308574048 ve had 2 surgeries for it (spinal fusion when I was 15 yrs-old and then one just 3 years ago to remove all of the fusion rods/screws b/c of infection)... I think the rib pain is just an added bonus b/c of the cold/cough. =) I plan on calling my doc on Monday since I have to call and get my Glucose/Diabetes results then anyway... so I can let them know what's going on with my ribs.
883071 tn?1240617719 I think you probably have a hematoma (collection of blood) at your incision site. This is not a usual complication with fusion surgeries, but it should reabsorb over time and you should not sustain any residuals. I am almost 3 months postop cervical fusion C4-C7 and experienced less pain after surgery than you are experiencing. I have struggled with some residual numbness in my hand and some muscle spasms in my shoulders.
Avatar f tn I had a L4-5 S1 fusion surgery with Cortrel-Doubouset rod and pedicle screws in Oct "08. A prosthetic disc L4-5. I still am having pain in my low back, sacariliac has flaired back up,burning or numb or cold sensations in my right leg depending on activity, My last x-ray states posterior elements do not appear fused. Question- am I fused or not?
Avatar n tn After months of steriod shots, therapy (which the retraction table was possibly legal torture) come Dec I had a I- fusion. I was ok for about three months until I.began to loose feeling again in my left foot, it would become cold even. I returned to the dr. He ordered a nerve study done, according to the study everything was perfect.
Avatar f tn Surgery may be successful in your case but depends upon severity and duration of nerve compression. Hot and cold compresses may also be helpful. In addition, avoid/reduce the number of repetitive movements whenever possible. Hope this helps.
Avatar f tn I followed directions faithfully. But I felt very different taking that and decided to stop cold turkey after 8 weeks. It has been 5days since I had a pill. The sweating, the death smell, sleepless nights and diarrhea are here. I will control the diarrhea with OTC Immodium. My question is how long does this death smell hang around and the night sweats? Any input is appreciated. God bless you all in your endeavors.
