3 spine surgeries in 13 months
I have been diagnosed with EDS for about 5 years, in the past 13 months I have had 3 spine surgeries, doe to stenosis, herniated discs and a tumor wrapped around the lumbar nerves, This past surgery was the worse as I was in the hospital 18 days as my dura tore during the surgery and made things more difficult, I was in surgery for over 10 hours, This has been by far the worse as far as recovery time. My whole lumbar is metal rods onto the Si joint. I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem with the spine I also have 2 herniated discs in my cervical area with a titanium plate. Just curious, as most pain meds do not work for me. Thank you . I am ready to get my groove back. Lisha
