Hey guys. My mom has been suffering alot of back pain over the last few years and has been to specialist, and dr's time after time, well they have decided that she needs to have her back "cemented" together. Im not 100% sure what all it consist of, but I know she will be down and out for a few days afterwards.

They are also going to do a biopsy and make sure theres no cancer.

Please just be thinking about her in the next week and send good vibes that her surgery goes well, and that theres no cancer!!


Thanks!!!

I think that might mean fusing some of her vertebra together to give her spine more strength. My mum had a bony spur and there was one point where they were going to take some bone from her hip and fuse the two vertebra together because i think it wasn't safe enough to actually cut the spur off as i t was touching nerves in her spine. thankfully she didn't need the op as the pain sort of wore off.


I hope your mums op goes well, you know shes' in good hands and everything will be fine *hugs*

RI the littlest stop on the map..........
I just want you to know that I had the surgery done the Neuro specialist had to use my hip bone and fused it to the disc that were damaged also use a plate to keep it in place and decompressed nerves . She will be in discomfort but I know the surgery will be a success . Just so you know this type of surgery is now become very common .

Sending a
to watch over your Mom and here are some
I know things will go well and she will have a speedy recovery .
Will wait to hear from you
