Spoke to my surgeon. She has stated to me that my back is so bad that I would benefit from a Spinal fusion of the L3\L4\L5.
I am so sad about this. I am only 8 weeks out from my last surgery. My last surgery apparently did not go as expected.
My right leg is literally useless and I am walking with a cane.
Still on hydro's and gabapentin. Seriously depressed wonder if it is the meds.
I am going to Mayo for a 2nd opinion. She said sooner rather than later but that sounds off.
She said 4 more weeks which would be a little over 12 weeks. I was thinking months longer.
I was on top of the world 2 months ago looking and feeling good. Was Starting a early prep for a Summer show. Then BOOM.
I feel like I will never be normal again.
I have asked some friends. One said it was the best thing they ever did. Another buddy said don't do it he is in infinite pain.
I think of Ronnie Coleman.
I was so proud as a young man when I squatted 675 lbs, dead lifted 700 lbs. Is this what it cost me.
Should I do it get the fusion? Tell me what to do BIO!!!
