Staple Question

[Kabranda 0]

I was so glad to see this posting and thank you heartonmysleeve for the information. I too have back problems and I have had a MRI of my lower back but I am now also having mid-back pain and see a possible MRI in my future and had been wondering about the staples and my feelings were that it would probably be ok after about 6 months as you would be well healed - but it was great to read that it is actually ok.

Best of luck........my surgeon turned my down for back fusion last week.......he wants me to lose most of my weight first. He told me that with my system canablizing itself (his words), he thinks it will be safer to wait. He told me October, so that's just one month longer to wait than you I guess. But, as you know, when you are in this much pain, you want it over with already.

I agree 100% !! I have put it off for as long as I possibly could and now the pain is so intense that I just want it over with!!

I am so sorry that you are having to delay yours.

I actually have had to postpone my surgery as well. I am looking at the beginning of June now.

UGH!!!!

Hang in there, I know how hard this is.

I ll be keeping you in prayer.

big big hug
