Angel P Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 Going in for ACDF today and was wondering if anyone here has gone through the procedure. It shouldn't be as bad as it sounds (apparently it's outpatient) and I'm only having 1 disc (C5-6) removed. Since I don't personally know anyone who's had it done, I've watched many youtube videos of people at various stages of post-op. "See" you all on the other side.

ChrisBardon Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 No personal experience with it, but good luck! It's amazing that something like this is routine enough to be outpatient. Angel P 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romier S Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 Never had it done but good luck to you and I hope the procedure is a huge success and it alleviates the back issues you've been having! Angel P 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Monkey Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 I imagine you're woozy right now, but one piece of personal advice with all the caveats (I don't know anything about this procedure, I'm not a doctor, I'm kinda dumb, etc.): Don't fuck around with PT. Take it seriously. I mean, don't hesitate to raise hell if something feels wrong, but when it comes time to do PT, take the sadist's demands seriously.

Angel P Posted January 12 Author Report Share Posted January 12 Thanks for all the well wishes. Though I felt lots of pain and discomfort when sipping water, I managed to stay away from the Oxycodone especially since things are likely to get worse next few days. I don't have a high tolerance for pain. 😕 Camp, PHiL, Kranix and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
