Guest guest Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 Hi Gross, & Peggy Greene, and everyone! I haven't posted for a while but have kept up thru the website. I'm now 6 months post-op for flatback and am doing great. No pain and also had total (L) knee replacement 7 weeks ago, with Dr. Hey's permission of course. After walking for over 2 years with the knees bent the cartilidge was gone in the (L) knee. After my spinal surgery I was walking normally again and the (L) knee would not bend because of the spurs from degernaation. Got along fine and plan to go back to work tomorrow. I'm walking again and plan to ask Dr. Hey for permission to work in my flower garden. Don't know how long I have to wait, still not bending to the floor, lifting >20 old, or twisting. Thanks for all your support when I was wating for my surgery. It really helped as most people I know have no idea what flatback is. Looking forward to hearing from you.
