Lynn shares her story and wants others to know: Don’t wait until you’re suffering from nonstop back pain. Talk to your doctor to explore treatment options. realwomenrealstories sponsored
I researched kyphoplasty further and learned that I'd most likely feel little to no pain after the procedure. I found that hard to believe, but I liked that it was a relatively simple, minimally invasive procedure.
During this outpatient procedure, he repaired both sides of the vertebrae so they would be at the same height. A balloon was placed inside, and bone cement was inserted to rebuild the bone. He did the other side the same way. When I woke up after the procedure, I kept saying,"I don't feel any pain." It was amazing. I would encourage anyone to go for it.
My doctor said I might feel some pain the next day because they manually move your vertebrae to get them in the right position. The pain felt like a bruise, but it was nowhere near how I felt before. To not have that intense pain anymore was just incredible for me. If I have any back pain now, it's more like a dull ache. It's far from the piercing, pinching pain that I used to have. I'm 71 and retired, so it isn't a problem for me to just sit or lie down and take a mild pain reliever if my back hurts. I think it's absolutely incredible that that's all I have to do to stop the pain.
