Kickas.org Forums Treatments, Drugs and Alternatives Surgery Has anyone had Pedicle subtraction Osteotomy ?

You are such a good storyteller Alan - is riveting this! But I wish you hadn't had to suffer from AS so terribly all those years. What a horribly cruel disease this is. It's amazing you have such a wonderful sense of humour through it all -- I can't wait to find out what happens with Angelmom! lol

Hey, if I can guess which policeman is you -- how many points do I get?

LOTS I hope!

Hi Alan its ok ive got a thick paper bag you keep the bloke.
I saw 2 surgeons one explained what they would have to do to get me upright . Start at the base of my spine and break every joint all the way to the top and fix with rods and screws as you can see major. Then he got the other surgeon who said he would have to break my neck to reset it in an upright position. They said it can be done but they felt that at the moment i wasent bad enough to take the risk . They are keeping in touch with my doctor and my rhumi and i can go back at any time. So its not a complete refusal.
Still i can go on being the model for the road signs ____LOL

Ahhh perhaps we should make it competition, what do you think?weall have a guess and first one to guess right gets a prize, and I bags go first....yay..thank for help with the pic dear girl

Cant see why all joints would need to be broken, if they are starting at the bottom, straightening the lumbar area alone will drag you almost upright. How old are you Kevin?


Oh and you sound far to ill for the girl, so probably safer for you to pass her on i think....lol

I will never be that ill
Im 54 going on 21

You are very welcome Alan. Yes a competition! Is easy peasy to guess tho, if I recall, I got you first try.

And you do not get to go first....

I fused top down not bottom up i always have to be different.

neither can she........lol. mind you we are writing all this stuff on someone elses thread which is cheeky of us, perhaps it should be moved to the heroes and amazing Alan forum...................lol

bE GREAT IF kEVIN WENT FOR SURGERY AND IT WORKED, CRIPES WE COULD FOLLOW EVERY GRIM AGONISING MOMENT And say cheer up Kev, oh stop moaning Kev, oh Kev you are such a whinger...........Sorry Kevin, go for it mate.

you absolutely did did not sothere.............did you?


ANd why don't I get a go, I am a kicker you know....huh

I see, yes a different kettle of fish then. I remamber my surgeon saying to me that the higher up the spine they have to work, the higher the risk of damge to nerves, apparently they are all very fine and delicate up towards the neck.


Anyway, good luck to you in your choices.
