I am so glad that Marty posted his mesaage regarding the problems he had following his surgeries. It scares me to think that I have been advissed to have a shoulder replacemer due to severe arthritis. I had never had neveer had "arthritis " mentioned to me before. I fell one yeaar ago and "separated" my shoouler two months after a spinal fusion. They were treating me for a "wound infection" which in February was diagnosed as staph infection and osteomyelitis of L3 and L4 and collapse of L3 from the osteomyelitis. They removed the fusion hardware and treated me with intravenous antibiotics. There continued to be collapse of L4 and then in May I had an extensivvvvve fusion with cross bars to stabilize my spine not mentioning what noticing the severity of the osteomyeitis earlier might have prevented.FOLKS -----TALK ABOUT AANGEEEEEER!!
