RE: Quick Personal Update: Post-Procedure

in #personal3 days ago

dude this is pretty gnarly... I don't think I'm ever going to complain about sciatica ever again.

Sort:  

Going on 20 years ago that I broke my back. Damn time flies...

Ouch care to explain what happened?

Sure,
Back in April of 2007, I was working as a Corrections Officer (Prison Guard) and was the 1st responder to most things as I was the 2nd officer in the segregation unit, meaning I was free to roam if I was needed. I was called to a fight, and it was quickly broken up, then about an hour later while serving food, I realized how bad it hurt, I guess adrenaline is amazing.. Turned out that I broke L5, and blew the disc above and below it out. So surgery was needed and they did a 2 level fusion of L4-L5-S1. Now, most people have the hardware removed after a bit, but my surgery was basically a failure and it never really fused properly.

Damn I wish I never break any bones. It seems that most of the times it never really recover to what it was before. I really hope the treatments work for you 👍
