Has anyone had some discs removed and vertebrae fused?
How long before you were allowed back to work?
How long before you were allowed to drive a car?
How long before you were allowed to ride a bike/wear a helmet?
How does it affect your ability to do shoulder checks in car and on motorcycle now?
I’m looking at probably ending up with fusions on C4-C7 next year.
I’m getting epidural steroid injections Monday to see if it can help with some of the pain by in swelling the Nerv root that’s compressed by bulging disc, but spine doctor basically just suggested that as an option to give me time to plan surgery.
(Will have to revive the Grand Cherokee that wasn’t “winterized” and just one day we realized as the car that hasn’t been used in over a year (can anyone suggest a good transfer pump to get old gas out before I try restoring power?))
Didn’t find enough google results that painted a consistent picture on the recovery and future mobility.
And I’m still weeks out from asking doctor again, left last appointment thinking he answered all possible questions and then realized I have a lot more.
Thanks,
Daniel
