When do you feel normal + Hybrid C-spine
Hi all,
I am five weeks post ADR C6-7 and fusion C7-T1. I guess this post is asking a couple of question, first at what point in time did you start to feel like a totally normal person again post-surgery? I am back to work tomorrow, I have a desk job so I am hoping I am going to be able to do what I need to do. I feel quite good, still taking some pain meds at least once a day, but I am able to do most things as long as it is not heavy lifting.
Secondly I ended up with a hybrid procedure due to the fact that C7-T1 didn't have enough disc space for a second ADR. Has anyone had the hybrid procedure, done medically or on purpose, and how are you doing now?
