Youch that is expensive! I got rubber tubing (don't bother with the straps because you can tie it any way you want) in two resistances and a whole swack of exercises from my pt for free a number of years ago. Now I think the tubing costs $1 a foot. I'd go see your pt and spend the money learning what exercises will help you for a whole lot less that $100. Hey, if you send me $50 U.S., I'd be happy to send you my kit! 8-) Connie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 I am new to the group. I'm 57 and had 19 " fusion in 1997, not fused to the secrum but all the way up to the shoulder blade region. It was anterior and posterior major 11 hour surgery. I have not really been able to walk well since, and began having trouble walking upright (falling forward from waist up) right from the beginning. The surgery itself went well, but I am wondering if they did something wrong that caused me to have problems falling forward. PT said my pelvis was stuck in the wrong postion. I walk very slowly (for balance) and can not walk more that 1/2 block. It is becoming increasingly difficult to stand and walk.... not pain but the stress of fighting against gravity. On major disability with very limited abilty to work. New PT (after a fall) ordered exrays and suggested a neurosurgeon with whom I might discuss another surgery. YIKES. They want to reconfigure my spine, take out the first and put it in a different shape. Posterior only, 8 hour surgery this time. Im just wondering... did they do a bad configuration the first time? will this next suggested surgery improve things (if I live through it) Anyone else here had this experience? suggestions where I might go to educate myselF? resources? I'm in a stressful lifestyle, so do not often take the time to try to investigate this topic, just try to keep going, but it gets harder all the time. suggestions welcome I am in Michigan near University of Michigan Hosp Carol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 Hi Carol, Sorry to hear that you are in such pain right now. A friend just had her original surgery last year, about the same age as you, and is having to go for another surgery to readjust the lumbar curve. Everyone is different and it is sometimes hard for the surgeon to calculate the proper, supposed to be natural, lumbar curve while you are on the operating table. There are so many factors that goes into the calculations, that sometimes the calculations are just slightly off, but to us it seems like it is a huge difference. If you haven't already, it is a good idea to get copies of your medical record, including surgery notes and X-rays. This will help you with all follow-up visits that you may have. You might also want to get an appointment with your original surgeon, if possible,, as they like to help their patients as much as possible to gain a better quality of life.
