check these out. If you know let me know. You people are the best!!! Do not mind the flash, my scanner was out of order for awhile.

OUCH

Is this the surgery you had done?

I had surgery on L5 S1 @ 10 yrs. ago - I'm due for another surgery.

My Dr. called it a Tune Up... ya right.

The Disc is seeping fluids Bulging- Ruptured- Herniated

Possible Annular Tear or 's

What is the Diagnosis here?

Not sure what we're looking at, to hard to tell but is that a collapsed disk? I've had a back fusion, L4-L5 and a neck fusion C5-C6 and my husband had a double back fusion L4-L5-S1....so needless to say I've seen a lot of these x-rays! Your pics are just a little too blurry to really see.

I don't know about the Lumbar area of the Spine. I do know about the Cervical Disc area I broke my neck in 1987 and I'm fused at C 4-5 and C 6-7. They used Cadaver bone that collapsed on one side.

I know if that's your Cervical/Neck - you have no curve

vertabrae's are fused together. Limited Motion - headaches

Tater - how old are you ?? these x-ray's of Cervical seem to apply to a elder.

Low Back - injury - Workman's Comp.?(on job injury) this was a accident ??

looks like a gun shot to the Low Back..

Carla - a friend had neck surgery using a cadaver bone

there's a Class Action Law Suit handling cadaver bones, tainted, faulty,

illegal etc...

I'm not trying to scare you - I wasn't trying to scare my friend either - but he ended with faulty replacement. He started getting rashes - skin problems and then his problems grew.

Are you having any side effects from the implant?

You mentioned it collasped - and rashes - skin issues? eye infections?

Come to find out - by pulling the Hospital records - my friends implant was purchased illegally - didn't go thru proper inspection's.? channel's?

A bone implant is just as serious as a Liver transplant.

You'd need to know about the donor....?

Carla - I hope your implant has worked out - my friends did not.

I'm sure - we have similiar X-Ray's to these shown. I know I do..

OK,,, Tater - please do tell..?

Wow, so what happens with the side that collapsed? How long after the surgery did that happen? I had my C5-C6 in March also using cadaver bone, so far it looks pretty good but isn't fused completely yet...so far no problems with it except I can't turn my head as far as I used to. I love to freak people out and tell them I have dead people bone in my neck! :wah:

Or shelled! :wah::wah:

I am not that old only 44. No car accident eithier. It is the lumbar. I will scan better pictures today and put them on. The cervical has been fused from c3-c6. They also need to do c7-t1. That is why they are confused, no accident. should not look like this. The work I use to do, only contributed to this a little. thank guys and girls.

I always get three opions!!! I got denied for a clinical study, because I am to young.

No but I know Igor fairly well.

:wah::wah::wah:

good luck dear. i hope you get the right answer very soon.

I went to therapy today, they are telling doctor I can not go back until he fixes the c7-t1. It was too much pain for me to do the therapy. They really did hardly anything. I see surgeon again on the 15. I will try to keep everyone who cares posted. :-1
