Back Surgery #2 Update

Bill Norris said:
Sorry you are going thru the pain and agony of back issues. Mine is beginning to act a little crazy but I'm trying to favor it as much as possible these days. Hope your recovery is speedy and you are back to normal very soon. We got a few more builds in the pipeline.

See what you did Bill. You broke his back with all these builds. Seriously Zack we are all thinking about you. Listen to the doctors and get well soon.
 
Get well soon, I know your pain but vowed to never let anybody cut into me again so I have to live with that choice.
Take care and best wishes.

I had the same done in april 2018 along with some hip bone and pins added as well.
My neuro drilled in to me that it takes 12 months for max bone strength, no lifting over 25 lbs.
I followed his advice and have had zero problems ever since, good luck.

To all of you men under age 50, be aware. . . you can easily pop a disc and pinch a nerve just picking up a tissue off the floor wrongly. As you get older, those discs solidify and won't be subject to herniation (popping) and. . . you get shorter as they solidify and shrink. :eek:
 
Speedy recovery Zack! You gotta come up with a better story than using poor form moving a 2000w generator though, lol. Seriously, God bless and don’t rush things, anybody who cares about you will understand that work flow may slow for a bit!
 
I had surgery in 2002 and by 2003 I ruptured another disc but it snapped off and the symptoms went away after a year. Now they took me off pain killers and I am in agony daily so I too feel your pain. I wish you the best and Prayers that God heals your body.
 
Zack, Sorry to hear. Like others have said, take it easy until you have recovered.
I returned to work sooner than I should have after heart surgery back in 04 and I regretted that I did.
 
Walk walk walk walk walk. Don't stand for too long, and don't sit for too long. You will be surprised at how fast you will get better if you just keep walking. I hate to say it, but leaning over a lathe is about like doing dishes at the sink, it will hurt your back more than you think. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. Tough guys have the hardest time getting better from back surgery because they do too much too soon. Take time to heal, don't rush it for work, and I hope you feel better soon.

I just had my 9th fusion, so I have a bit of experience in this department.

A good muzzle brake is a spines best friend.
