RESIDENT EVIL ZOMBIES SOUNDS
Per the doctor's orders, the bandage came off my incision yesterday. Looks good (as well as a several inch incision that was sealed back up can look!). I can finally shower today (yah!).
The only thing is... I knew this was coming, but I'm getting itchy around the incision. Hopefully, I won't need a cone around my head to keep me from scratching, lol. #surgery #neckfusion #kingofthehill #hankhill #dalegribble #boomhauer #yup
So I've been back to work for two days now. I mostly #WFH, so at least I could come back sooner since I'm still not cleared for driving. My periodic onsite work is covered by my awesome coworkers until I get cleared.
By the end of the day today, I started feeling a lump in my throat. I don't feel ill, and I'm not having any issues with breathing or swallowing. I've had it on and off since the #surgery about a week ago, but it's more noticeable now. My wife checked online and pretty much confirmed that a #neckfusion / #cervicalfusion can cause this feeling for up to 6 months.
Does anyone else have experience with this? It's not surprising since a 2-inch incision was made on the front-left side of my neck, and various parts within were shifted to get to the #herniateddisc on the right side of my neck. I assume it's something I just need to ride out, but any advice, if possible, is appreciated. #medical #medicalquestion #medicalhelp
I saw my surgeon for a post-surgical #neckfusion follow-up last week. The steri-strips came off, and I was cleared to drive and lift up to ~15 lbs again. After another 2 weeks, I can bump it up to 25 lbs.
I have my next appointment in a few weeks. I'll also be seeing my otolaryngologist the same day. My neurosurgeon said I should be cleared for the #adenoidectomy, so I'm hoping that I can get scheduled asap.
I've already had a noticeable difference. I have almost zero pain in my neck/back/shoulders/arms. It only flares a little if I start pushing my weight lifting limits, but goes back to normal with some rest. Driving and walking for even extended periods doesn't hurt anymore.
I'm looking to get back to exercising once I'm healed enough from the neck fusion and upcoming adenoidectomy. Between no more pain or sleep apnea, I should finally have the energy to do it.
RussianDeepStateSock@thefyuuri oooooof I bet that was painful.
Is that the procedure where vertebrae or discs are fused together to stop other pain?
@thefyuuri did you learn more about this? My wife says its probably globus sensation, which can happen due to injury to the area, anxiety, or other neuro causes. I also had globus sensation for a year or so, way back in like 2009 during a bout of intense anxiety and stress that I worked through. My wife (MS sufferer) has had the sensation due to neuro stuff + anxiety about it.
It can be super annoying and it makes you want to swallow into it a lot, but hard swallowing will make it worse. I used to try to swallow it, and apparently I was perpetuating it. Hope yours is gone/improving!
