I had a shitty nurse right after my spinal fusion. lady was pushing on my back to roll me to a different bed only hours after the surgery. I've always wondered if that was the cause of all the problems with my back after the surgery.
I have since learned to speak up -- If there's a nurse I don't like I speak up and tell my nurse that this shitty nurse is not allowed in my room and not allowed to take care of me (the Patient's Bill of Rights allows you to refuse medical treatment from any person you chose)
The funny thing is, this actually puts me in good graces with the other nurses because that shitty nurse is often hated among the other nurses so if you speak up about the shitty ones it kind of validates the good nurses' feelings that the shitty nurse really is shitty

Smokerman, let us know when you're back home and walking around again

Yes. I´ve had my fair share of them, we all have I guess but not taking shit is important and filing a complaint is usually a good thing.

I have degenerative disk disease in my lumber. Constant pain. Stenosis in my backbone in cervical area too. So I'm kinda fucked.

I have read back surgery only has a 60-70% success rate. Below 65% is failing in most schools. So WTF?

My brother in law had fusion surgery. His pain came back in about 3 months. I have read that happens A LOT. I keep being told not to let them cut into my back from all kinds of places.

I NEED MMJ. FL blows.

But a nice, slow sponge bath from a cute nurse might be fun.

Smoker Man. I'm dealing with DVT & a broken ICV.. all the best to you.. this chit is NO JOKE!

I´ve had my C6-7 fused do to a herniated disc. First operation they put in a prosthetic disc that started slid and started to compress my spinal cord, second op was a fusion and the third was to remove a screw that was making it hard to swallow! MF! But the fusion is working well -never accept a prosthetic disc whatever the dr´s say.

Had about a 3 inch part of the incision open up. Went to hospital and they packed it, now I go every 2 days to have dressing changed. I watched as the nurse packed a 30 inch piece of gauze into the hole. eewwwww now the pain has started, doctor gave me a scrip for Butrans 10 hopefully it helps

I'm back in the hospital, had severe leg pain Sunday so I came to the hospital and they found bypass graft plugged. I have had 3 angioplastys done since Sunday night. Now on blood thinners, we will see

Real sorry to hear of the setbacks, and very much hope their efforts will be productive.

best of wishes for you. as dddaver said, "getting old sucks". but, it beats the alternative. keep waking up on the right side of the sod, bro...

I am back home now. The pain on Sunday night was some of the worst I have ever had in my life, my foot was starting to turn grey from lack of blood. All seems ok now, have a scrip for blood thinners. Hope all stays ok. Thanks for positive vibes.
