Pulp, SASS#28319

Pulp,  I had back surgery two years ago, to repair everything from L1 to S1.  I drink a gallon of milk a week, plus eat cheese and ice cream so the surgeon did not anticipate any problems.  When he got in he found that I have osteopenia, I.E. soft bones.  The lag screws would not hold the cage onto my spine.  This is not to scare you, but to advise you to get a bone density scan before the surgery.

Other than that, I second what Loophole Larue said:  go to a major metropolitan area and find the best surgeon in Oklahoma to do the work.  Then do the therapy and be the most compliant patient that your doctor has ever seen.

Good Luck,

Duffield
