@@TheStreetsTalk321 yeah just I think scares me the most is being paralyzed I have a 4 year old that will be going to school next year and I just wanna get better beofre she has to go to school I’ve let it go for 2 years and I wish I haven’t now cause I’m getting worse they said I have a slipped disc in c6-7 mylophy spinal stenosis and aurthrites I’m waiting to see a new surgeon and soon as I get this next appointment surgery I’m doing I can’t keep going like this it’s messing with my arms and my legs and my walking now I’m struggling to lift my arms I’m so weak when I hold my daughter that my arms shakes I’m dizzy of balance have trouble breathing and everything my head fell flimsy and my body fells heavy like bricks it’s scary I just don’t wanna die if go parlized I never been putt to sleep only 1 time for a endoscopy
I had c5-c6 and c6-c7 fused a month ago, and another osteophyte removed which was pushing on my esophagus. I spent a good decade with numb, tingly, twitchy arms and a few springs on narcotics. Having this surgery felt a lot better than any day waking up before. Honestly, the worst part of this experience was having a longer-than-typical problem with swallowing and speaking, but those are recovering as well. Have yourself a good surgeon who isn’t cocky, and have a good, frank chat with your anesthesiologist (those people are gold). Let them know and they can adjust things to help you out there if they know you’re anxious. It’s a fairly straightforward and well-studied procedure, and while of course there are risks the odds are low. You will - almost certainly - wake up in much better shape than you’ve been in a long time. That said, be sure you have someone available to help you after surgery. Weight restrictions are a thing (I am still at 5#). I also, just in case, bought a cane with a folding handle partway up (it was maybe $30 at the pharmacy). Don’t want to fall, and having that extra handle means I can more easily get up. I didn’t need it for more than reassurance.
Thank you for this great video and information. This was very interesting, especially since I had ACDF surgery (2 levels) a month ago.
Great information, my wife just had this surgery and complains of shoulder pain. Now we know why….thank you.
