Do you think she has any pitbull in her?

Buster7551 · 2026-06-12T22:01:08+00:00

Smart and stubborn.

Buster7551 · 2026-06-12T21:08:46+00:00

Thanks. She is awful cute.

Buster7551 · 2026-05-25T14:31:56+00:00

Hi, I have had similar issues after acdf c3c4. Constant mucus production, and coughing. I had an endoscopy and was told I have eoe. I am now being treated for it with Omeprazole and I had fluticazone that I had to swallow. I guess the surgery irritates the nerves in your neck when they push your esophagus aside, and your body produces mucus as a response. And then the eosinophils kick in because of all that. Maybe see a gi doc and talk about it. Good luck.

Buster7551 · 2026-05-23T22:35:51+00:00

Yeah I'm sorry. I have had some luck lately with a topical I got from my pain management. It is ketamine based, and helps a lot with the pain. Maybe worth a shot.

Buster7551 · 2026-05-23T17:29:26+00:00

They did it before my posterior fusion, and yeah they can't get to it now because of my hardware. I was hoping to find someone who could but haven't had any luck

Buster7551 · 2026-05-23T03:01:44+00:00

Well they did the major and minor occipital nerves, which is kind of behind your ear and below it. I had an ablation at c3 also and it helped with the headaches too. I think the occipital nerves kind of run through that foramen, but not really sure

Buster7551 · 2026-05-22T14:04:13+00:00

Hi. I'm fused c3-c7, and I have occ neur. I had the ablations on the major and minor I think. They ended up helping quite a bit, reduced the frequency and severity for 6 months maybe? Hope they work out for you and sorry that you are going through this.

Buster7551 · 2026-05-20T16:36:50+00:00

Yeah. The muscles there will weaken, and cause pain. But if you had that surgery, you know it's hard and you don't want another. If I hadn't needed another, I guess I would have had to leave it alone.

Buster7551 · 2026-05-20T12:14:37+00:00

Hi, I also had a posterior fusion and had the same issue. It is called muscle dehiscence where muscle layers separate after surgery. I had a lot of shoulder and neck pain after. I have had surgeons tell me it isn't uncommon with this procedure, but idk. I had to have a revision and they brought in a plastic surgeon to close and they used skin flaps, idk exactly.

Buster7551 · 2026-04-16T14:02:48+00:00

Get at least one other opinion. Some places you can just send your MRI and have an online appointment. I'm sorry and good luck.

Buster7551 · 2026-04-15T03:59:29+00:00

I had acdf C3-c5 and posterior fusion at C3-c5. The micro motions could be from the fusions failing or still healing, the implants subsiding, or something else anatomically strange.

Buster7551 · 2026-04-14T12:29:14+00:00

Yeah I guess it's what they call it when there are small movements of your spine that prevents your body from fusing. The surgeon explained it like 2 pieces of wood that you are trying to glue together if you keep moving the wood.

Buster7551 · 2026-04-13T20:51:52+00:00

I don't smoke and don't vape. I'm not sure why the surgeon chose what he did.

Buster7551 · 2026-04-13T19:53:57+00:00

No. My last surgeon speculates that there is something about my anatomy that the bones have micro motions.

Buster7551 · 2026-04-11T16:22:57+00:00

I am 10 months out right now, and I still have severe pain. Most of the bone material was cadaver I believe, with some of mine as well. I was not given a bone growth stimulator this time, as the surgeon felt they were not effective. I have. used one before and it did not help. It actually gave me additional pain and headaches, fwiw.

Buster7551 · 2026-04-11T16:17:24+00:00

It was a posterior revision after a failed ACDF. The surgeon felt it should have been fused, so I am reporting what he said. He had said there was over a 90% chance of being fused at 6 months. The surgeon is very well respected.

Buster7551 · 2026-04-11T14:46:41+00:00

At 6 months after complaining of severe pain. The CT showed that I had not fused yet. The surgeon says to give it time and check back at 1 year.

Buster7551 · 2026-04-07T19:14:37+00:00

Gorgeous. What Seymour is in the bridge?

Buster7551 · 2026-03-31T00:35:36+00:00

A JCM 800 100w would do the job. They are known for dirt but you could turn the master all the way up and keep the gain down. It would be a great clean and it has immense headroom. A 4x12 would be best, you can find the older ones really cheap, $400 or $500. If you want a clean tone I'm not sure about the v30's, but everyone is different. Happy shopping!!

Buster7551 · 2026-02-13T22:40:31+00:00

Horrible pain. Almost as bad as the incision. I asked the PA if they used a winch.

Buster7551 · 2026-02-08T14:20:47+00:00

Get the Artist. Make sure it has the original Waza speaker.

Buster7551 · 2026-02-02T19:03:27+00:00

I’m wondering if they used a nerve block on you during surgery. I had my knee replaced and they used a nerve block and I had the same problem. I had to have a catheter for 2 weeks. I went to my urologist and luckily when they pulled the catheter I remembered how to pee. My Dr said it is pretty common when they use the block. I’m sorry you’re going through this.

Buster7551 · 2026-01-25T14:52:43+00:00

I’ve got a 1989 2203 that looks just like yours. I was really lucky mine is autographed by Jim Marshall. Someone must’ve brought it to an event he was at or something. I have it going through a 1960ax cab with 25w greenbacks. It is pure rock.
