Danny what your describing sounds like you might have a
syrnix. I would suggest that you take a look at the attached
websites that can explain your possible problem

I'm a dwarf and I have had several back surgeries because of
my spinal stenosis. I've been cut open and fused from C1 to C7
and then from S1 to T8. I also have rods that help stabilize my
back that run from L3 to T8. I currently have a syrnix that's located
in my C2 to C5 area that has given me a lot of pain and increased
numbness which in turn causes me to take more meds. There's
a lot of excess pain not only in my back where the rods are, but I
also have a constant pain that feels like someone is squeezing
my groin and abdomen area. The doctor tells me that the syrnix
is causing this pain.

{} --> I was originally fused from my skull to T1…. The doctors at Craig
then removed some to give me head movement….. But I haven’t felt what your
describing…. I think any grinding is bad and
should be checked…. Better safe than sorry!

Subject: [QUAD-L] spinal fusion
For those of you who dont know, I had to have my spine fused in several places
last May. Well it really began hurting last week like something was rubbing.
After the fusion was done, I had to have a screw removed b/c it was too close
to my aeorta so I worried something was shifting and went to my doctor. My
neurosurgeon is out of town so I went to my pain doc bc he used to be a
neurosurgeon at the University of MD. We had xrays done and he doesnt see
anything that would require me to have surgery, but I am in unbelievable pain
to the point I can barely move and its in more than one spot.
Has anyone else had any experience with the rods rubbing a bit or a screw? I
am hoping after taking it easy for awhile the pain will go down but it has been
getting a little bit worse every day and today it's about the same. It doesnt
hurt as much if I am laying down on my side without moving too suddenly but it
does hurt more to sit up and hurts a lot to adjust myself while laying down the
first time for the day. I've been staying in bed a lot hoping I can get the
pain down as pain meds arent helping very much.
If anyone has any ideas on how to try to get the pain withstandable, I would
apppreciate it. I have 3 cages and rods from top of tspine. One cage replaces
T 4,5,6,7 and maybe 8; another replaces T 11,12; and another replaces L 4,5,
and maybe 6. There is about 7 or 8 discs missing in all. In the lumbar
section there are a couple of sets of rods with rods next to rods. Lots of
metal!!! I tried to put a pic in but it couldnt be delivered.
Anyone else have this much metal?
