Technical term gross pf decompression (lots of bone removed)

[Guest guest]

I'm trying to do some research but don't know the correct terms to

describe my 1997 posterior fossa decompression. I had lots of bone

removed, not like the way it's done today.

I need a fusion surgery but there's been so much bone removed TCI says

the fusion would be extremely difficult to do and it would most likely

collaspe.

I overdid by making Thanksgiving dinner. I knew not to do it. I

ignored the pain and kept on working.

Now my pain is back and if forcing me to barely use my arms and to stay

in bed most of the day and night.

I remember reading one post on here or the WACM website where someone

was looking for others that also had a " gross decompression " .

Anyone know the technical term for this?
