surgery it is for me!!!! yippeee!!!

went and talked to the dr. this morning about my mri. and as suspected........the disc is indeed ruptured. so....................im gonna be having neck surgery pretty soon. gotta go see a neurologist tuesday morning........and hopefully they will hurry up and set up a surgery appointment for me!!! i'll actually be glad to have this shit taken care of!!! a few people, including my mom have had this surgery done, and all of them say it isnt too bad. they go in thru the throat, move everything outta the way, take out the bad disc, and then whatever they put in to replace the disc....not too sure on that part. sounds rather not pleasant, but it shouldnt be too bad though. then i'll have the recovery time and definitely have to have rehab/therapy when its all done!!!

anyone here had this surgery.........or got any advice for me???

 

Sorry to hear that man. Hope they get it quick so you can get back out there. Keep us informed.

 

I never had this surgery, but I just gave you some rep. It'll keep you safe!

 

Good luck... we'll be thinking about you. Let us know how it goes.

 

Damn man, sorry to hear that, but i think it may be for the best, you'll recover sooner, hope everything goes well man.

 

GOODLUCK MAN!! everything will work out good for you

 

That suck.. I tried to avoid surgery. I had to bad discs in my lower back but feels much better with physical therapy.

Are they going to replace the disc or fuse the 2 vertebrae?

 

how exactly did this happen?

 

up in the neck isn't so bad

i had a friend (in his 40's)who has this done this about 5 years ago. he was back at work few days later but on real light duty and wearing a plastic neck brace/support type thing. he did exactly what the doctors told him and made a full recovery.

my mom on the other hand ruptured her L5 and L4 (the two discs above the pelvis) and after two unsuccessful surgeries they fused L4 and L5 to her pelvis with rods on the 3rd one.

good luck!!!

 

thanks for the support all yall!!!!

hey nd...........its actually a result of doing some back yard wrestling a long time ago............the injury i had then finally gave out!!

and as far as fusing or whatnot.....not sure yet. but, that will be one of the first things i ask the surgeon!!

 

Hey man, good luck with the surgery! I hope a speedy recovery for you!

 

hey hope ya have a super speedy recovery. do u think it will affect your DG abilities later on?

 

yeah i remember that story.... idiot.... oh well, even though you're drunken stupidity caused it i'll still be prayin for ya, but i'm sure everything will be fine. sounds kinda simple and routine from what evryone has been saying

 

Sorry to hear the news, but my offer is still good for the TW special, half price if you set your appt. by monday and I'll even clean the tools.

 

hahaha.....deal man!!!

 

............actually i wasnt drunk at the time...........we actually used to back yard wrestle all the time....home built ring and all, plus we used to video them and send them in!!! we were on the news a couple of times for"dont be stupid and doing what these guys are doing"!!!!

yeah....needless to say......i dont do that shit anymore!!

 

it may have an affect for a little while, but therapy and all should take care of all that. and actually, that part wont be too bad,as i havent had time to play ina while anyway. im mainly worried about deer season......well, the bow aspect of it anyway. hope im better by september....thats for sure!!

 

Dude, I'll be thinking about you. Good luck and you can always go to the MM thread for comfort!
