    Back surgery mix?

    Your post op is VERY similar to mine, including getting the brace off (mine was at month 2). 10lbs weight restriction absolutely for a few weeks or even a month. But Ive had to lift more on occasion. I've found at month 3 about 25 lbs is max before my lower back where the hardware is starts...

    Back surgery mix?

    Jesus. At least they'd have me under twilight sleep when they did it. Then they started doing full under (which I thought was unnecessary... But just a local? Yowch.

    Back surgery mix?

    Brother I feel ya. July is when my vertebrae popped out of place and things got way worse after that on top of the herniated and degenerated discs.. By Sept 1st I couldn't walk 2 steps on a treadmill anymore. So I set up surgery consult for mid Sept, and earliest they could get me in was 10/31...

    Everything you said about your buddy seems right. You can make it back to the gym in 3 months with a lot of progress on physical therapy. I have 6 weeks of it starting today then I'll be released to do whatever.. Which puts me at just about 4 months. But if you're that bad off already shots...

    Back surgery mix?

    Another thing to note about suboxone It's strong shit. I've been on opiates for 14 years as needed. 5 years daily. And the last few months the 180 10mg per month i was prescribed wasn't even enough. So I absolutely needed them. If you're just trying to ween off after a few months of even...

    Back surgery mix?

    Ok Had 2 month followup today. Everything looks perfect. Got the brace off today. So no longer using that even though I feel like I need it. But they said (and I agree), my core has atrophied even more so I need to start using my stabilizers again on my own. And start pt 3x a week starting...

    Back surgery mix?

    I've had about 14 of them in 5 years. They work. Especially if you do it once, and come back in 2 weeks for round 2. 3-6 months max relief. But pretty sure that's what degraded my discs from bad to 1mm nonexistent. It was already happening, but it spead it up. Moderation, I guess. I wonder...

    Back surgery mix?

    Unfortunately neurosurgeon hasn't released me to do any activity at all yet or I probably would, including using my high dollar recumbent bike.. Maybe after my 2 month follow up tomorrow You're right on the eq, though. I've already decided to quit running it. My hypocrite levels are high...

    Bro I got allll that shit and then some.. Those grabbers come in handy for all kinds of shit. And the walker will go in the attic once I stop having to use it first thing in the morning when I'm still wobbly. Also saving the rx stuff for future use... Goes good in a kit bag or ifac

    My doctor said he's cleared construction workers in as early as 3 months. Basically 2 months healing at home and at least 4 weeks of pt (I'll find out how long this Thursday at my followup)

    Back surgery mix?

    I'm in home finance, mortgage broker (probably not for long from what I'm seeing).. So thankfully I work from home 85% of the time. So I was really only out 2 weeks. It'd be a lot harder if I worked in an office. Until recently just running a few errands knocked me the fuck out when I got...

    Back surgery mix?

    I was in the hospital for 4 days. Day 2 was bad. Day 4 I was ready to get the fuck out of there. Another 8 days or so after were a blur of pain. Lots of naps, oxycodone, muscle relaxers, ice, more ice.. I used my walker for about 4 days. I still use my grabber to help get my underwear and...

    Back surgery mix?

    I'm down. I'm just glad to be relatively pain free after more than a decade.. And no pain pills. But I got a feeling it's going to be bands, machines, and cables for a good long while even after I'm cleared That being said, to add to my above post. One dude swears by this one peptide, which is...

    Back surgery mix?

    So after 14 years of back issues (2 herniated discs + bilateral sciatica).. It got worse year after year. Degenerated discs, Stenosis. And then in July, I can't remember the name, but my L5 vertebrae popped out of place. I was to the point of begging for fentanyl patches from my dr. Picking up...

    Whole Mouth implants (all on 4)?

    Does anyone have any experience with these? The whole process sounds horrifying but I've lost several teeth over the years from bone loss and instead of getting individual implants and bridges, I've opted for the one and done, buy once cry once method.... At $48000 All I know is I get...
