neck fusion

[scott46052]

Anyone here had a neck fusion and was able to shoot rifles , shotguns and handguns at a later date

Everyone is going to be different in their procedures and outcomes but the answer is "probably" though expect to take a year off. Maybe as short as six months but I would error on the side of caution on plan on a year to let everything heal and strengthen.

This is mine. No 12 guage or bigger until complete fusion. 22 LR is okay tho esp suppressed. Hard hitting calibers still suck but I have a titanium shoulder also.

I go to Dr. Khairi at Goodman Campbell brain and spine.

Good luck with your procedure!

Sure buddy... no, we haven't seen John Connor.

You will never be able to shoot again.
Please drop off all of your guns at my house. I will be happy to utilize them on your behalf.

VA did mine but the doctor just came from a 4 year residency at Goodman Cambell

Takes up to year for the bone to completely regrow, heal, fuse - whatever the proper medical term is.

Oooh. OH! OW! This makes me painfully glad that I only had open heart surgery.

I was thinking more along these lines

You should see my lower back and front plus hernia surgeries. I am having a revision to a revision L1 up. Again.
My kids call me Robopop...

Just had nerve ablation to the lower back. Still sore but the pain is gone. Been a long journey, ambulance ride in February with severe pain.

Had my hammer toes fixed a couple years ago. Took a few months to fully integrate the repairs. Took this pic from the internet, similar to mine.

Good luck. I know how bad neck/nerve pain can be.

Did they use a mesh for your hernia?
Last I heard that was a bad idea unless they have figured it out in the last 15 years or so.

Yeah, a 8"x10" piece of Kevlar. Only 8 insert points. All down arthroscopic. So I have a perfect rectangular if you look at the surgical scars. Piece of cake except the doc ended up getting Parkinson disease so my general surgeon is a crap shoot if I ever need one.

I have always heard of breaking your foot off in some ones butt but now I feel as if I have met them...

Well, at least now, not everything looks like a nail to his feet.
