Olá a todos. Não venho aqui há um tempo porque estou tentando me acostumar com o fato de que, desde que tive uma LTHR há 6 meses, descobri no meu check-up de 6 meses que tenho prolapsos de disco e artrose das articulações facetárias na minha coluna lombar. Além disso, ciática e meu quadril direito precisará ser substituído em algum momento. O consultor me disse que, como minha perna esquerda era mais curta que a direita, eles as deixaram do mesmo comprimento quando fiz minha cirurgia, o que provavelmente piorou minha coluna.
Pensei que, depois de substituir meu quadril, eu conseguiria trabalhar e andar muito e aproveitar a vida novamente. Como eu estava errado?
Eu realmente não sei o que vai acontecer a seguir. Alguém mais tem esses problemas? Eu me sinto bastante sozinho.
I have arthritis in my lower spine too, the surgeon found it when he was XRaying the hips, and that's another thing I'm afraid of when I get my other hip done. I'm not sure how the length of hips etc will affect the lower back. Don't feel alone Julie! There are definitely some of us with MULTIPLE skeletal problems! My family seems to think that once I get the other hip done, I will be running around like I was 25 again!! I keep saying it probably will be better, but nothing is the end all do all!! At my age, and with the arthritic problems I have, I will NEVER be absolutely 100 % perfect! Just not gonna happen. BUT, it will be a huge improvement, and help me tremendously no doubt. But yes, I'm scared that it may shift the alignment in my back and who knows?? LOL......all these FEARS I have!!!
Oh, and I forgot to ask you, how much pain is your back in?? Do you feel quite a bit of more pain because of the shift in length etc?? Also, did they tell you if you replace the other hip if your back would improve???
Eu acho que quando minha perna foi alongada, piorou minha hérnia de disco. Minhas pernas estão do mesmo tamanho agora, a esquerda era mais curta porque eu tinha artrite nela por 12 anos antes de eles operarem (algo a ver com minha idade os impediu de operar mais cedo) a dor que sinto nas costas não é algo regular, ela acontece quando menos espero e sinto como uma sensação de queimadura na parte de trás das minhas pernas de vez em quando também. A dor nas costas normalmente dói em volta do meu glúteo esquerdo, perto do meu quadril. Também. Obrigado pelo seu comentário, é bom saber que não estou sozinho com isso.
Also Julie, keep in mind it usually takes a full year for the hip to heal completely. I'm not sure if your hip has 'settled in' so to speak with muscles, tendons etc. It takes a while. Possibly you may need a disctectomy? Those are usually not too major of surgeries. My daughter has had 2 and healed quite nicely within a month or so with no back pain. Not saying that you will never have any pain in your back because of arthritis. (my physio told me there's not much they can do for arthritis in the back But, they may be able to ease your discomfort some with disc adjustment. Sorry you're going thru this......I know pretty much what it's like. I need a whole new skeleton (LOL!) Don't think they can do that yet, and I'm not sure I'd want to go thru it anyway!!
I can match you another hip and a spine, and raise you an ankle
What happens next? You keep onwards and upwards. You have another option????!!! There's no magic to make them go away, but the worst thing we can do is let it all beat us.
Hi, yeah I have lower back osteo and protruding discs and scoliosis. But I've had a bad back for years and took this opportunity to get it checked out. And yes it has got worse since my last MRI. I've just been for a massage which helps to loosen things up. 🛀
I’m sure that it is more than likely that your back will be causing you problems and likely several will be getting fed up with me saying consider seeing a chiropractor, but do consider this route if you have back pain that you cannot shift.
It is vital for your well being that your back and frame is in balance. Look at a skeleton and it all becomes obvious.
