Bones to weak for surgery
My bones are too weak to have spinal surgery because the bones are not strong enough to hold screws cage etc. I was told some time ago now that I would most likely need to have replacement knees and hip replacement because of arthritis. If my bones are not strong enough to hold screws etc does this

Caude equina syndrome
Hello everyone hope you are all well? I had to have emergency spinal surgery last week as I suffered caude equina after a herniated disc compressed the nerves at the end of my spine. I still have saddle anesthesia and loss of feeling in back of right thigh and bottom of right foot. Has anyone on here

MRI nervous wreck
Multilevel degenerate is in the lumbar spine as described above, more pronounced at L4-L5 level with resultant mild-to-moderate bilateral neural foraminal
stenosis
at this level. No evidence of significant
spinal
canal
stenosis
. Is this still treated systematically

Spinal Cord Stimulation Alleviates Parkinson’s Pain in Small Study
Spinal cord stimulation can effectively decrease pain, and also may help alleviate motor symptoms, in people with Parkinson’s disease (PD), regardless of whether patients have previously undergone deep brain stimulation, a small study suggests. https://parkinsonsnewstoday.com/2020/10/02/spinal-cord-stimulation-alleviates-parkinsons-pain-small-study-suggests

Prednisone and spinal surgery
In a week I am having a laminectomy to relieve pressure on my spinal cord and nerves. Diagnosed with PMR in April 2019. Currently on 12.5mg prednisone, and on a very slow taper to 11.5mg over 5 weeks. How should I manage my steroid dose before and after surgery? Should I up the dose for a few days? Thanks

cyber knife aka SBRT
I am wondering if any one has experience with SBRT/Cyber Knife treatment. I get another PET on 9/1. First one was 3 mo. ago to look at a meningioma in my spine and lit up a 1.7cm tumor on my upper right lung lobe. I had the meningioma removed 7 weeks ago and now the thoracic surgeon wants a new PET

Ankyolosing Spondylitis and Adalimumab
I have Ankyolosing Spondylitis with a number of spinal fusions already. I started on Adalimumab at the end of April but it's not really helping. I have just had a phone appointment with the specialist nurse who told me that I can't expect to be pain free as I have a lot going on. I told her I don't

So much for my new beginnings!
2 weeks post spinal surgery I was going great guns and itching to start c25k again, then last Tuesday it was a 999 call and back into a different hospital with gallstones. Oh boy pain?... hmm. After a few days monitoring and administering fluids and antibiotics I looked a bit like an inflated version

Advice welcome
Hi everyone, I'm new here and hoping to gain some advice and strength from others in similar situations. My boyfriend has Stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (adenocarcinoma) with bone mets. The cancer has travelled into his spine causing so much damage that he had to undergo spinal surgery to replace

New beginning
Well the spinal surgery has happened the consultant tells me it was successful. I am waiting to go home now to recover, just the small matter of moving house now! Hubby has been moving stuff while I’ve been in here loafing about, next weekend is the big move I will be directing but no lifting or handling
