♥️👋🏻🎆🎇🧨 On July 5th, 2024, I received life-changing medical care: a DEXA bone density scan of my legs, hips, lumbar (low) spine and neck, that took only a few short, painless minutes to complete. 💥💥 The reason for referral, in this scenario, was that recent x-rays (pictured above) of my spine and ribs revealed I had been living with two fractured ribs since February of 2024, despite visiting emergency rooms and urgent cares in my geographical area 5➕ times to report my pain and refill my daily prescription medications while living without access to a primary care provider. 🏥💊 The results of referral in this scenario turned out to be positive - but just in the sense that we found indication of disease. (I personally am not pleased; I am grieving.) 🚨🌸🌸🌸🩻🩻🩻🌸🌸🌸🩻🩻🩻🌸🌸🌸🚨 As of July 5th, 2024, I now know I have statistically low bone density in my hips, my lumbar spine and my neck. My rib fractures in early 2024 were due not to any physical trauma or injury but rather due to a slow, internal collapse of the very structure of my body. My skeleton has been diagnosed with ‘OSTEOPENIA’, the precursor to ‘osteoporosis’ that tends to come for adults above the age of 50 who have lived a full life of labor and experiences. I’m just 30; my bones hurt. 🚨 We don’t yet know the reason behind my pain and the fractures - I’ll have to visit a bone health specialist and undergo much more testing before all is revealed. 🔮 #fracture #ribs #spine #DEXA #bonedensity 🩻💸#bonedensityscan #osteopenia #medicaid #kaiser #osteoperosis #xray #bonehealth #healthiswealth 💸 #kaiserpermanente #kaiserofwashington 🌐🌐🌐💸#currentlydisabled #molina #chronicallyill ♿️♿️♿️💸#lackofgovernance #preventabledisability #grief 🌸 #grieving #growth #disabilityofgovernance #skeleton #healthcaregovernance #structure #strength 🎆🎇🧨#unitedstatesofamerica #systemcollapse 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💸 📸🔗@andiiefaye

This I have learned from some of the top surgeons: back fusion is only helpful if the pain is coming from excessive grinding due to joint instablity (from wear and tear and trauma). Sometimes the back is fused also because a decompression precedure itself caused too much instability by removing or cutting through too mamy pillars of stability. Functional MRI should help us to better rule in or out the former, and minimal invasive procedures can effectively avoid the latter. It is not a mistery why sometimes back fusion surgery fails. Why other times it does miracles. The solution has to fit the problem, not the otherway around. Fusion surgery is designed for alignment correction (sever scoliosis or deformation) and traumatic instablity reconstruction. It should not be the first line option for pain managment. Opening a can with a machetes is not the best idea.
