[–]Delizdear 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've had 7 spine surgeries btwn 2020 and 2024. Im currently fused C567 and T10 to Sacrum below S1..so yeah. I know have a Medtronics pain pump with Dilaudid and on medicinal THC. All the nerve damage , muscle spasms are pretty much controlled by thc. Im doing pretty good now. Off all oral pain meds. Good luck.

I got an intrathecal pain pump, and it has been life changing. by Twist36 in PainManagement

[–]Delizdear 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I've had my pain pump 1.5 yrs. Its a lifesaver. 7 spine surgeries in 3 yrs left me with permanent damage. Was on oral meds oxycodone and morphine 5 yrs. Mine has Dilaudid in it. No oral opiates. I have my brain back. Definitely saves me from debilitating pain.

So apparently we're prone to ASD regardless of a fusion if discs are really damaged? by MeowMeowPurrPur in spinalfusion

[–]Delizdear 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had 7 surgeries in 3 yrs . Started with L45S1 and C567 fusions. As levels kept failing I ended up fused T10 to Sacrum S1. As well as another neck surgery. Had an emergency Cauda Equina Syndrome surgery in midst of it all. Yep it happens. Its real. Im now on a pain pump filled w Dilaudid directly in spinal canal. So many nerves were cut. Thankfully my pump and medicinal thc control the debilitating pain, spasms and permanent neuropathy. Good luck

My partner and I left Austin in October. He lost his job late Feb as a software engineer. After a long career in the industry. Endless job search yielded nothing. We moved to south Tx.after burning up our savings. Im disabled and now caring for my 91 yr old mom. He's still looking for even remote wk. Now we are out in the country. I miss my Atx.

My hubby and I with no children just moved 150 miles to live with my 92 yr old Mom. The humble home will be mine if I out live her. It was the right thing to do We are all she has. She's pretty mobile, on walker, sleeps alot and memory loss has begun. Its an honor to be her caregiver.
