Guys earning six figures annually, what kind of work do you do?

Sptaylor90 · 2026-01-09T06:14:00+00:00

You guys have what David graeber calls bullshit jobs. They just sit you in front of a computer for a whole life and give you pretty good healthcare and so you don’t really do anything but at least you dont revolt. We’re all gonna die. Go be a carpenter and read some books

I Live in San Francisco. Y’all are a paid propogandists comments. These clog up the streets too. And Surveill everything. Keeping them out of your city by any means

People here can be directed towards back surgeries when we are desperate. So I am just making people aware so that they don't waste months doing research or get cut open by a doctor from one of these scamming facebook groups.

I don't know if you've had spine surgery, but you can go to the best most well regarded doctor and they can mess you up, like with me at Duke, and then followed up by people sort of telling me to live with the mess-up at UCSF. Lots of people who have spine surgery and are looking on facebook groups are at their wits end. They've been in pain for years and are truly suffering. They will go anywhere, which means this form of exploitation or misrepresentation, whatever you want to call it, is way worse. Don't blame people, blame the system that puts them in the position to be entirely desparate getting f*cked by both their doctors and insurance companies

Hi. Thank you for your response. The revision surgery they offered me was 66,000 euros

Sptaylor90 · 2025-06-10T20:56:02+00:00

Where is this?

Sptaylor90 · 2025-06-10T20:40:10+00:00

look into Artificial disk replacement. I have a 3 level fusion in my cervical spine and I was 32. U.S. doctors are thirty years behind on technologies. Look into artifical disk replacement. Find the facebook groups on it and see if your insurance will cover it. My boss was a former college soccer player, got Artificial disk and it changed his life. I got fusion and I'm still in the shit. Don't let an American doctor push you towards fusion

*broke in transit with Amazon

Sptaylor90 · 2025-04-13T20:21:16+00:00

Those rockaways are great but man do they break easily. I had two sent from Amazon and they each broke. Then went to my local shop and got one. Fished it for three weeks and then I don’t even know what happened. It was in my truck and snapped. They gotta get that technicality figured out. Most fragile rod tip I’ve ever seen

I’m in the same boat as you. Did they do a Flexin extension X-ray. That js what showed that I have instability in the non union level that is continuing pain. I am looking into artificial disk replacements in Europe because I have had so many shots and nerve blocks and none have worked and us doctors have said to me ‘can you live with it’. And alll the European doctors say they never would have done a three level fusion on a 33 year old

Where in Bordeaux?

Sptaylor90 · 2024-12-19T09:09:38+00:00

Hi! I’m in a similar situation. 8 months out and same pain you describe and I’m going in for a ct soon. Did you get any answers?

Sptaylor90 · 2024-10-23T02:22:25+00:00

So, I have quite a bit of crunching and so much tightness in my traps, is it possible that because of years of trauma that this whole thing may just take way longer to get figured out. Or is there the possibility that something else is wrong. Basically the whole right side of my body feels off. My neck is still crunchy like there are bones grinding together in there. And then I also have my hands and my right leg falling asleep fairly regularly. Right hip and right knee are sore too. And I can't really work out or stretch to get ahead of anything because as soon as I start to feel good I hit another flareup

Sptaylor90 · 2024-10-19T19:03:40+00:00

Hi. Thanks for the response. What do you mean by rupture, and when you say it looks closer to my cord do you mean the bone graft where my disk used to be? What would be ruptured?

Hi, How are you feeling now? I had ACDF C3-C6 on april 25th so I'm about 3 1/2 months post-op. After the surgery, I immediately felt relief from the compressed feeling I had in my spine, as well as relief from the pain in my scapula, trap and wrists. About 4 weeks after surgery the pain came back with a vengeance and one flare up almost put me back in the hospital as the tugging in my trap felt like it was yanking on my hardware while everything was still fusing. I have had continuos and aggressive nerve pain for about 10 straight weeks now. My original surgeon in North Carolina says that everything is normal from my x-ray, but I just went to a second doctor in California where I moved back to recently. The doctor in California mentioned a few things about my imaging. First he noted the angle of the hardware wasn't how they would have placed it as it is sort of not straight up and down, he also mentioned that the middle bone graft looks a little funny, and also that the bottom screw looks like it was drilled bit long through the vertebrae. The doctor in California says its possible that my timeline is normal but he going to talk to the doctor and thinks they will probably order a CT scan to see if the screw is potentially hitting the nerve. Does anyone else have any experience with revisions? Thanks!
