thorne Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 I know we have some people on here in the medical field. I've got a question, I've had a Discectomy in my lower neck, It has started hurting again sometimes a burning feeling in the back of my neck. When my wife called to get me a appointment they had said something about a 6month wait. I would like to know if it is something thats normal with this type of procedure or a doc I could go see. I just don't want to go back on pain killers like I was. Who ever thinks Oxycotin is so cool has never been on them and other narcotic pain killers for over a year then decide on there own accord to just flush them down the toilet. Thanks guys.

smokin5s Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 did you get an endoscopic disectomy or just a normal one where they fuse bones together? endoscopic, you'll be in pain for about 2 weeks, then as long as you treat your back right, you won't have pain again. typically though, with any disectomy the pain is typically lower than where the nerve is pinched... with mine, I had shooting pain down my left leg.

HotCarl Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 My brother hurt his back a few month's ago although not as serious as what you've done. He says Physical Therapy has helped him IMMENSLY. Whatever you do, Dont go to a chiropractor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87GT Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 Dude I have bills to pay, don't flush them down the ..... ER ya Oxycontin is evil. Drugs are bad MMMMkay? I was on Oxys when I had my chest surgery. They are hell when you take them everyday. I had to take 1 every 12 hours. Made me motion sick by just walking. Oh and I would have severe itching feeling on my forehead. I itched like I was a crackhead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2pointslow Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 I thought a disectomy is where they snip your ball tubes or is it visectomy.. that would be visectomy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HAOLE Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 Start with the least invasive route... Are you having symptoms into the arms or hands? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 Listen to the man....the best back is an unoperated back.....or neck in your case. Start with the least invasive route... Are you having symptoms into the arms or hands? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
