Pics of the titanium screws and rods in my back!

[BMF Machine]

It has been 4.5 weeks and I am still hurting~

After seeing these x-rays today, I completely understand where the pain is coming from!

Oh well, Doc says it appears to be healing fine and I start aqua therapy tomorrow..........
to be continued..........

Looks like mine! i feel your pain. I took a four story tumble off a balcony! 2 rods and 8 screws later and learning to walk again. Hasn't stopped me at all. Good luck with the therapy!

[b-man]

We make those screws at my work. :)

Don't worry, we take great pains (pun intended) to do the job right on those!

I used to work at a place where we made the screws and rods like those as well; I never wanted to have them in my back!LmaO

I am 36, I had a lot of 2 stroke dirt bikes and four wheelers? I used to ride half pipes on my skateboard as well as jump ramps and quarter pipes, never got to stupid on a bmx? When you wreck them things, well lets just say it is like getting kicked in the NardS? I have flipped cars, trucks, crashed into trees, I have even been hit in the head with a YarD JarT, when I was 5 years old(1978)? I am very lucky that, nor anything else has killed me yet?

I was just carrying a big TubE TV down some stairs, with a friend, when my back finally broke? But it was like I had been chopping at it with an ax my entire life? That was just the straw that broke my back?

I will prevail! I must~ my sons are 6 and 3, I have to get over this for them!

Well, at least you got some titanium that Rupp's car does not have.

I was told the same thing when I herniated one of the lower discs in my back. Doc said I probably had an issue for years and finally found the last straw. I wish you well in your recovery.

[Steven]

That's how it works, 30 years law enforcement, car crashes, falling off fences, knock down dragouts, bent over dropping a spoon into the dishwasher and the disk lets go. Instance pain, dropped liked I was tazed. By the way, good luck with the healing and God speed.

[Damn True]

Yeesh, that'll pull your drawstring.

[LowBuckX]

you will get past this bro. Keep the good spirit.

[tones2SS]

WOW!!
That sucks. Hope the pain goes away soon and wish you a full recovery.

Looking at the pics I was already thinking that he is taking Pro-Touring way too far. . . . . .


Good luck, be careful and keep the spirit up!

[parsonsj]

Damn! Any idea what the thread size and pitch is? :)

Seriously, hang in there. Nothing can be worse than the surgery to put that in your spine.

Yikes, just had a laminectomy so I feel your pain to a lessor degree. I don't ever want to hear about sciatic nerve again. Good luck with the recovery. Pool treatment definitely helped me.

[maldo]

man hope you get better .. i bet they have some great pain pills for that kind of work ......

Mind if I ask which company? My mom's former employer was one of the larger production shops that produced medical supplies/tools/screws/etc.

[BMF Machine]

Jones Machine Tool, we did work for a company called Medventure they are in louisville,ky and may have moved to jeffersonville, IN.
Very tricky stuff! Lots of very tiny stainless parts, gut hooks and even a stainless steel syringe thing that they put uranium in people with? Plus the nasty titanium screws pictured in the x-ray.

[bulldog19]

Good Luck with the rehab!! I have 5 screws in my back, would have 6 except the 6th was agravating a nerve. Hope to never have to say that i have a screw loose!
Remember take it easy and do what they say. You only have one chance to do this right!!
