Fibrin Sealant
I had my Fibrin Sealant done at the L3/4 level last Wednesday the 18th and have been taking it pretty easy lying on ice 24/7 but now I am supposed to be walking as much as I can. I have sitting restrictions of no more than 30-35 minutes for now. It is too early to tell but I think it is a good sign that I have only taken one pain pill since the procedure. I am hoping and praying I get long term relief from it. One of the nurses that cared for me in the hospital had it done at several levels last July and is still doing fantastic so that was encouraging as she has a job that can be difficult with spine problems. She told me she is painfree so that was very encouraging. They want me to wear a back brace for 6 weeks mainly to limit my activity. No bending, twisting or lifting anything over 5 pounds for right now. Like I would want to. LOL!
Blessings to all, Linda

Linda,
My fingers are crossed that this works for you. As I've said many times, pain sucks. I hope you get the relief you need. All my best, Dale

sounds good
I've not heard much about this but it sounds good to me! I hope everything works out GREAT for you and the pain will be alleviated with this procedure!
BTW I'd like to be that nurse you mentioned. I've been retired now since 2000 (as a nurse) re back stuff and had a few surgeries here and there recommended so I guess I'm well past a fibrin sealant stage tho it sounds like something that can really be helpful at a certain stage. Best wishes for continued progress and pain relief!
