Disc above surgery is failing
Hello again
I knew it was just a matter of time. Had my surgery back in March of '07 for a C5-7 fusion with instrumentation and have been feeling worse as each day passes. I managed to go back to work for about a year and a half but just couldn't take it anymore. My latest MRI showed some issues with the disc above my surgery site as well as the disc above that. I believe my Doc wants to fuse my C4-5 at the moment but has me checking to see if a discogram can be done post surgery. He also states that the ex-rays show it is going to be a very tight area to get a needle in. SadSad
I'm guessing at this point if the discogram will make him decide on doing one or both discs.
Anyone have a discogram post surgery? I wil call Tuesday as Monday is a holiday
I really hate going back into the system even though I really have no complaints and have been more fortunate then most.
Also how is my range of motion going to be with an additional fusion or possibly 2

Thanks everyone and Be well

Take Care and Be Well
Tom
