re: Cervical ACDF 2 Level

It's all good. Have a great family to help. Dr said I will never be able to pick up more than 30 pounds.

This has been an interesting read
Although luckily, I haven’t had any experience with back pain. My ex-girlfriend has several broken vertebrae from a car accident several years before and she consistently complained about pain. It became hard to know when she was really hurting or just being a complainer. She would have random pains in her side that were sharp and seemingly excruciating. They would come and go and I think it was traced back to pinched nerve in her back. She was never really offered much more than mild pain meds and a bit of P.T. at one point, which she said hurt so bad she stopped going. I felt really bad for her, but again, this girl ALWAYS had something to complain about health wise (migraine, low iron, nauseate stomach, etc) so I grew a bit unsympathetic although that was probably wrong of me. I just know the struggles she apparently went through and hope that you can can find true relief.

To a non medical person, it’s weird hearing y’all talk about this like parts on a car.
