My back issues are well documented on here and elsewehere.
In Jan 2011 I had a double discectomy and spiinal fusion at L4/5 to S1 with a pedicle screw rod fixation.
Before that, I had steriod injections, accupuncture, osteo, chiro and all sorts of drugs. I was 26 at the time of the surgery.
The surgery helped a little, but Im still not pefect.
A few months ago I was in a car crash and it pretty much felt like it put me back to square 1. After a hospital visit and GP visit, I got sent to physio, and thats helped massively. I never had physio after the surgery for whatever reasons, so all the muscle tension and scar tissue from the surgery a year earlier was still there. This combined with the muscle truama from the accdient made for some painful physio sessions!
Im still in pain constantly, but its a lot better than it used to be. I just have to be carful with what I do.
I made a blog at the time of my surgery, well started a few months beofore in the November should anyone be interested.
