Nerves?
Hi! I had a big fusion and I’m almost 6 months post op. I’m a minor so the surgery was supposed to be “easy.” It went from a 6 hour surgery to a 12 hour surgery. I hate my spinal fusion, it’s caused more problems than before. I mean I don’t feel like my ribs are being crushed or my lungs are anymore. But, my body twitches a lot and I have sharp nerve pain that either is a pulsing pain or feels like a hornet sting. I was cleared to play golf and plan to be a college golfer. But this pain is holding me back. I don’t wanna mess my back up. Even just laying down I get sharp nerve pain. And when I’m playing golf I can genuinely feel my nerves and it’s gross. I really wanna get my fusion taken out. But I don’t think my surgeon or parents will agree with me. I wanted this fusion for 2 years due to such horrible pain. I felt like I was suffering everyday. But now I regret it. I have to wait till September just for a check up appointment.. anyone have a similar experience, if so what did u do about it?
