Findings from my Lumbar CT
Hi All,
I am still dealing with pain in both hips, my butt and across my lumbar spine. The most bothersome symptom is the lack of ability to walk upright for more than a few minutes, like 2 min. since my last surgery in August of 2012 and Sept of 2012.
I had a recent Ct which stated a disc spacer prosthesis is present at L4-L5 , with subsidence of the prosthesis into the superior end plate by a distance of 5 mm. What type of problem does this cause.
I also have chronic compression fractures of L2 and L4. Left convex lumbar curvature.
Please explain if you can,
thanks,
judy
My doc is considering anterior surgery, maybe,i will only go for it if it can improve my walking or get me off morphine. both would be awesome!
