Nearly 20 percent of people who underwent low back fusion surgery developed post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms associated with that surgery, according to a recent study.
This is the first study to evaluate for PTSD after an elective surgery. This was very eye opening to me as it was off my radar and the findings are rather dramatic.
I see on a daily basis how spinal disorders and surgery can effect people's life.
Has anyone had any similar issues after a surgery?
