    I actually really loved deadlifting.... And I was pretty good, but not any more
  2. ***Log L5/S1 - Slipped disc - Injury, Operation and Recovery Log

    I'm 29 years old, but according to the doc, my spine looks like that of a much older person because of powerlifting. How old are you? And if you are making ANY progress, even slowly, I would push the fusion off. You can always get it later, but you can't take it back.

  9. ***Log L5/S1 - Slipped disc - Injury, Operation and Recovery Log

    Well mine didn't show one either because it was contained within an abcess
  10. ***Log L5/S1 - Slipped disc - Injury, Operation and Recovery Log

    Yep, but 99.9 percent of the time they can see the infection....mine was just hiding behind the spine in some nerve bundles, so they couldn't see it until it had grown to be a goofball size, and literally way worse pain than before surgery

    I hope not too man.... A fusion is no good. I'm still in the hospital (since Monday) and will likely be until next week....that makes me nervous about it being wet and inflamed..... So was mine

    Same here man, the abcess caused all sorts of issues and they had to cut out a lot of tissue. And they have me running crazy antibiotics that keep irritating my veins..... I hope you feel better brother
