workingcinderellaman Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 QUOTE (Jack Aubrey @ Sep 16 2007, 08:37 AM) No, it wasn't a fusion, thank God! I'm not sure what laminectomy means, the only technical term I heard was 'discectomy'. The doc basically cut out the part of the disc that was bulging into my spine and sutured the membrane back up. http://www.caldwellcartoons.com/cards/card5.jpg Back surgery sucks! A fellow rider friend of mine had a discectomy done and he can't ride long distances any more. Made his wife happy though.(I think he needs to go back to his doc) I know anytime you hear 'ectomy' it means they're taking part of something out. Discecomy means they're taking out part of a disc. Laminectomy means they're taking out part of the lamina of the vertebre. I'm sure you will recover alright. I think there is nothing more painful than back pain. Good luck!

ILSnwdog Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 QUOTE (Jack Aubrey @ Sep 14 2007, 05:14 PM) Thank you very much, everyone! I had a bulging disc in my lower back that had to be corrected surgically. It's no big deal, really. I just can't sit in my desk chair for more than 10-15 minutes at a time, so it's putting a hurting on my post count! Don't worry, I'll be back soon. Yes, the pain meds are helping. They make me so drowsy, though! I feel like I'm about to start hibernating. Jack...Glad you are back! Hope you're improving more each day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Aubrey Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Well, I was feeling better for a while, but the pain is back now. It's not at all as bad as it was before the surgery, but it sure lets me know it's there. I saw the Doc today and he thinks it's because I started my PT too soon, so I have orders to take it easy for the next two weeks and ease into PT if I feel like it. The good news is that I tolerate walking well, so I'm able to walk a half mile every day and that will help a lot. I'm just impatient to feel better, and I'm getting tired of the pain and pills. The short answer is that back injuries take a long time to heal and I'm just going to have to get used to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
