good news and bad news / Drs appointment

[bronco54501]

Today I had my follow up with abdomin specialist and my orth- surgeon. After tests he feels my abdominal pain is from my surgery and feels pt will break up the scar tissue. ( no surgery at this time )

My ortho says my back pain is what it is ( si-joint & hardware ) and probably wont get better. so more pt and now pain clinic. And added another year till I will reach my level of mmi. Guess who was not happy again / NCM. They tried to trick me today and say pt was not helping, surgeon disagreed and says he is still working full time so he thinks it is helping.

I took tomorow off, paid a sub $100. to work for me. Staying the night cant take the ride home.

Just thought I would share, The wife wants her laptop,--------Pogo is calling. ..............Bronco.

Bronco, I'm Happy they feel that the Scar Tissue in Your Stomach May be able to be Broken-Up, and I'm Sorry to Hear of Your Back Situation. My Situation is a Lower Back, L5/S1 and S1 Crushed Nerve Root Encapsulated in Scar Tissue, and No Dr. will Operate! My Very Best, I know it's not the News You Wanted, but You do Have Hope for Some Relief! Please Keep Us Informed!

Thanks still,/ Hurt , I asked to have some of the plates removed. He feels it's not an option and must stay in tact. Dont bones grow/fuse back together, or is it a strenght issue.?
He says where he put the long screw through Ialliac inthrough SI joint cause I broke the ialliac clean off top to bottom. Well thats what is giving me trouble/ besides the hip.

my dr wanted to remove my hard ware but i didn't like that idea and yes once its fused you should be fine.The body was not ment to have metal in side if it and can cause pain.If you trust him then so with it but I still don't like the idea of not having the extra support or strength.

I don't have any Hardware Bronco, and know Little about it. Maybe Someone will be on Soon to give You Better Info.!! As always My Best, and Have a Great Day!!

Thanks again . as thats what I wory about is the support the plates may have. As the surgeon calls me humpty dumpty, and does not want to take hardware out. But also tells me accross the front pubic bone ( which is solid plates & screws ) will be normal to crack and shift.
But hey I am able to walk & am working, In pain but it's a far cry compared to many. I am happy just to be here and share life with family & friends.
