Big Day in the Morning.

Keep your chin up, bro. It's not like you have a choice in the matter.

I've had 4 neck fusions in the last 5 years. Tomorrow morning I go in for a 5th. My Dr is going through the back of my neck again. My last doctor actually misaligned the hardware by 20 degrees in the back of my neck, smh (Dr is taking the misaligned hardware out). This surgery cause extreme pain in my left arm which I never had. Anyways, I'm not looking forward to splitting those muscles apart again in back of my neck. Also he's gonna try and figure out what's making my C6 nerve so irritated. Below is a picture of me last time, he's reopening what you see below. Hopefully I won't have to call the ambulance this time to take me to the emergency room. Smdh.

Maybe ask for dr to just install a zipper next time.
Might save some time.
Looks like you are most of the way there.
 
This inspires me to go trough with root canal extraction. I got a bridge on my left top side and udnerneath the root is dead, it swell up a few times, twice on antibiotics cause of it. I´m paranoid about surgical extraction. Once as a young adult saw some woman on tv who talked about how she is blind cause the doctor gave her the injections wrong, dentist. She was entirely blind. Now I´m not scared of the injection, they hurt though. I am scare when the doc cracks my root remains, I did it like twic before, and it feels out like he is breaking my skull. Worst fear. I don´t care one bit bout any pain after, just while he is cracking it it is killing my mentaly. It´s multiple peaces. Thinking he might dislocate rip out something. Last time I did it, when I got on a plane 2 out of 3 times that year, during the landing my eye hurt so bad I thought it was gonna explode. Even asked the stewardes. Those 10 minutes landing the pressure in my eye was intense and unormal. Like I´m gonna go blind, my eyes teared form pain, and actually my nose filled up form snot. It was unbearable, than when we land it´s fine. Than I remember when I got the root extraction it took like 40 minutes and the female at the reception said something that I ignored, like if something rips open it´s not the doctors fault ect bla bla. Didn´t think about it. I think he sort of ripped my sinus a bit. I was fine after it. Just the flight landing was brutal for a couple months. I flew like 3 x in a year and twice it hurt bad.

Now I think root extractions can rip my face open. It´s the ugliest thing I have gotten. Hair transplant is nothing compared to it.

Again it´s not pain, my face is numb obviously. I don´t care bout cutting my gums open to get to the root. But when they start yanking each peace, it´s scary as fuck. Takes long. It´s horro I can not bare it. Doctors said I need to do it like 1 year ago. I still haven´t. Took antibiotics twice when it swelled up badly.

I think the problem is I got strong bones, like 1.5 x of average, my head is huge. So it doesn´t just pull easily, it takes long, and since it´s a dead root, they take it out peace by peace, and the top ones are more dangerous than bottom.

So go trough the horror of yanking or let this dead root poison me sort of. It´s not an option, it won´t ever go away or heal on it´s own, literaly impossible. It´s permanently infected.

So seeing you have neck surgery, makes me realise, I´m softer. I just can´t stand it. Rip inside my skull.

Gues gonna avoid it a bit more ?

I need to get it done but it scares me. It´s so awful.

I am of course sending wishes of well health to you. I´m sure you´re gonna recover quick and be pain free after it.

Wish I was as brave. The idea of my root being seperated from my skull, the yanking and stuff, it´s horror. Like what if they crack something open or destroy a nerve. Not enne nerve. Like bone damage.

I needed to vent. Thanks. I know it´s bout your surgery, I just had to somehow get it off my chest lol. Great that it went well for you, seeing the pics now.

How did you inure your neck in the first place

About 20 years of motocross starting at age 5. That and a skinnier than normal spinal canal in the cervical region. One disc at C3-C4 was blown out so much it was pushing into my spinal cord itself. Also all the others were herniated to some degree. Also a few levels in my lumbar region are fused for the same reasons stated. It would take way too long to list all my surgeries due to motocross racing, I don't recommend it.

I have an old root canal that eventually broke, they don't last. Instead of going have it fixed, I just lived with it. It's not worth it imo.

Btw this shit hurts like hell, anytime they go in through the back of the neck and separate your neck muscles from the base of your head to your shoulders it makes for one hell of painful recovery. I've had every kind of surgery in the book just about, this being the most painful. All because my previous Dr was too scared to go back in through the front due to scar tissue. My new complex neurosurgeon went through the front perfectly fine 5 months ago. Smh, all Dr's aren't created equal. The only reason we went through the back again was to take out the misaligned hardware that previous buffoon put in the back of my neck.

You never know with nerves, they take forever to regenerate. I know I'll always be in crazy pain, I just want a little less of it. This is the front of my neck, the scar is so big because they went in twice on one side and once on the other. It connected both scars.

Cool scar.

I don't mean to hijack your thread, but Iim starting to get you about nerves. I've had big mobility issues with the nerve in my right leg since November and it's only since the last few days that I've been optimistic, and even then I've still been taking Ibuprofen. I suddenly feel like an old git whenever I enter and exit vehicles.

Glad you made it out. Best wishes for recovery.
