Could someone who had discs five and six removed during back surgery June 20, 2006.?
Question:
Please don't tell me to call the doctor. He is retired now and our trip is tomorrow. Just give me your opinion.
Answers:
Absolutely not. Just because the back has been stabilized does not mean it should be subjected to the forces the rides subject you to.
I just had microdisectomy (just cleaning the edge of the disc) of L-5/S-1 about 3 years ago and I would never take a chance going on rides anymore.
GOOD LUCK!
The answer would be yes. When the discs were removed the bones were fused. This is a must because otherwise he would have had an unstable back and likely would be paralyzed by now. His back is fused, and stable and it would be no problem. Have a good time.
I would be very careful of doing this! I think it will be fine on smooth rides such as Splash Mountain. Beware of jerky rides, such as Space Mountain.
