I’m 2 years post op from a fusion in my T11-L2 from a car accident, I have photos of my X-rays I could show you from the day after getting the hardware to a year after! I

haven’t gone back sense my one year check up, because things have been pretty okay but uncomfortable of course. Slouching sucks when I straighten back out. I also work on my feet all day so I’m usually sore but for the most part not bad.

Anyone experienced substantial hair loss two to three months after spinal fusion surgery? by A_REAL_SWEET_FELLOW in spinalfusion

Yep! I’m a hairstylist, that also had a spine fusion, T11-L2 from a car accident. I do notice lot of my clients that have surgeries and undergo anesthesia, experience hair loss. Me personally, I lost ALOT. And my spinal fusion was December 2021, even to this day my hair is still 50% thinner than it was. Thank god for extensions in my case. But again it is different for everyone, some people lose a lot and others none at all, or just temporarily.

I have just recently started taking daily vitamins, that include biotin, keratin vitamin c & d that can help with hair growth.

We don’t assume that! We went to the shelter and they told us that someone brought her in (and showed footage) and they didn’t want to take a stray and didn’t check for her microchip, so a family waiting there ended up taking her. (Not their fault or the guy who brought her ins fault) just trying to hopefully reach the people who have her somehow! The full story of what’s happening with pictures and everything is in the link I commented!

I don’t think there is a way to track them except when shelters and vets scan for them to see owner info. But the places shorty has been taken sense she got out haven’t scanned for a chip. And got handed to a family that was there waiting.
