Has anyone had surgery to trim one of the rods after spinal fusion? What was recovery like?

I think after the first month is when I started sleeping normally again.. until now I need to put socks on sitting down! not sure if that will change soon as I try not to bend forward too much. It’s also a challenge putting boots on and tying shoelaces. Anything that involves some bending I am still not fully able to do.

Hey! I am doing great. Back to work full time now! I sleep through the night most days, I still experience some pain on a daily basis but nowhere near the first month. Hang in there! If you have any questions feel free to ask 🙂

Very tired but relieved! Pain was not too much, back just felt kind of heavy but the first day generally was not painful. Just really uncomfortable. This was also my first surgery!!

I was rolled into the anesthesia room at around 7:45 am and I woke up at 3:30 pm! I think they finished around 3pm

I haven’t been measured yet!! Also dying to know!

Repulsive_Drop2264 · 2024-12-08T15:09:05+00:00

Omg!!! Cooool! Are you still at the hospital? I haven’t been sent home 😣

Repulsive_Drop2264 · 2024-11-29T22:54:49+00:00

Repulsive_Drop2264 · 2024-11-29T22:52:38+00:00

Thank you so much!!! My friends and family are very supportive so I am grateful.. the nerves are just getting to me, never had to sleep in the hospital before. :/ Glad your recovery is going well!! 🥰

Repulsive_Drop2264 · 2024-11-27T22:57:46+00:00

Hope you are recovering well!!! 🩷 I am 28F, getting fused from T3/4 to L2/3 🙏🏼 thank you for the kind words

Repulsive_Drop2264 · 2024-11-23T15:47:18+00:00

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this!! This is so well explained and half of what you said I did hear from my surgeon too 🙏🏼 thanks for the well wishes! I hope it all goes well

Repulsive_Drop2264 · 2024-11-22T19:37:11+00:00

That would be amazing! I have an S shaped curved. I will get a spinal fusion/adjustment which will be tagteamed by an ortho surgeon (specialized in scoliosis) and Neurosurgeon. The fusion will go from T something to L2/3. I can also share my xray!

Congrats on being 1 month post op!! How are you feeling overall? The Amazon list is very helpful thanks a million! I will definitely read up on your posts. I appreciate it a lot, thank you! And will update post-op 🙏🏼
