  • Round Two...

    Found out yesterday that I will be going in for my 2nd back surgery on Monday January 25th

    I've got Spinal Stenosis now, where the spinal cord is constricted causing lots and lots of pain for myself. Normal diameter for the spinal column is 14mm. Starts getting pretty painful at around 12-10mm, and intense pain sets in at around 9-8mm. Mine is at 6mm, well beyond the pain free zone They're going in to relieve the pressure around the spinal column and hopefully get me back to normal.

    All this past year, since my last surgery(January 21st 2009) they've been telling me that everything was fine, and basically all the pain I've been having has been in my head. So on one hand I'm sad that they found something wrong with me and I'm going to have to have another surgery, but on the other hand I'm really glad they finally figured out what was wrong with me and that the pain wasn't just in my head, and are(hopefully) able to fix the problem.

    So thats it, I'm a broke down old man

      Good luck Nick. Having had 4 back surgeries myself (most recently was Jan. 6, 09), I can understand not only the physical pain your are experiencing, but also the "mental pain" it causes as well.

            Best of luck! It sounds like it is at least somewhat comforting knowing what exactly is wrong, and what needs to be done to fix it. Take care bud!

                Good luck Nick. Is this surgery risky? I would imagine anytime they are mesing with your spinal cord it is.

                            Well like you Nick, I am both relieved and bummed at the news.

                            It's a bummer to know you have such a nasty situation going on with with your spine, it is a relief to know that they finally found the cause and now they should be able to get it taken care of.

                            I'm rooting for a fast and complete recovery for you man.

                            Hang in there!

                              I'm glad they found what is going on back there and hopefully this surgery will give you some much needed relief!
