Hey everyone, this is Jeremy. I just wanted to stop by and say hi. I have been down and bed ridden for over 10 months with my back injury. This was about the 5th time i had injured my back and everytime it had gotten worse. I tried everything including several back injections, physical therapy, different meds, acupuncture, and time. Nothing worked. I had spondlolthesis which is a loose joint that bends opposite of the rest of the spine resulting in pinched nerves and a ton of pain. I also had a herniated disc and a broken back. I had my L5-S1 fused about 2 weeks ago. My nerve pain is gone but still have tingling and surgery related pain. I am still recovering and adjusting to all the hardware in my back (4huge screws, 2 rods, and 2 spacers) Hardest part now is dealing with the lack of activity and boredom. I used to be very active! At least now post surgery i can go on light walks. Well if you were all wondering where i dissappeared too, that is what has been going on in my life. Hope everyone is doing well and having fun for me!
