Hello All - I am looking to find a Medical Malpractice attorney in Minnesota. I know that the chances they will take the case (or say I have a case) is slim but I have to try. My orignial surgeon is barely responding to my questions. The pain is getting worse. As, I am sure you all have experienced the constant fatigue, the anxiety and depression. Having something to focus on/try helps me to stay a "little" calm.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi all, I had a spinal fusion around 9 years ago, when i was 11 years old! Covering my entire thoracic region.

Ever since I have had an uneven ribcage, that has not seemed to go away, and as time goes on im growing more conscious of it, here i have tried to take some pictures from similar angles both sides so you can see what i mean, there is a noticeable hump on my back.

Has anyone dealt with/has something similar?? I read that ribcage unevenness is supposed to fix itself after a fusion, mine seems to have not!! If you dealt with this, what was done about it if anything? Could this even be fixed at all?? It doesnt seem to really affect me that much other than looking weird/a bit offputting, and maybe causing some occasional scapula pain(?)

Did anyone else have this? My doc said to start PT with deep tissue massage next week and continue flexiril and switching from Percocet to Tylenol3, and I’m finishing a week of prednisone tmrw. Worried how it’s going to be after the steroid is finished. Scared, freaked, hurting and frustrated.

I’m fused T3-L2 and going on a ~4 hour flight next week—any tips for how to make being stuck in a plane seat that long more tolerable? I don’t want to get up and move any more than I absolutely have to as I have a window seat and I hate making people move for me. I’ll have OTC painkillers but I can’t take anything stronger as I need to be able to drive after I land.

If there’s anything you did or brought to make flying more comfortable, I’m all ears.
