☾𖤓 ᖇᗩᑕᕼEᒪ ᖇOO ≽ܫ≼ ❌ :
I’m 48, 4 years post‑op ACDF C4‑C6 (failed fusion) and 4 months post‑op PCDF C4‑T2.
Nine weeks ago, I was hospitalized with sepsis, leukocytosis, and high inflammatory markers. All tests were negative, but my PET scan showed significant inflammation around my surgical sites. Infectious Disease now suspects Polymyalgia Rheumatica and is referring me to Rheumatology. I have severe body aches neck, shoulders, spine, hips, knees, sometimes ankle and feet, with stiffness, weakness, and fatigue, spending most days in bed, depressed. I’m concerned how PMR and possible steroid treatment will affect my fusion healing. Thank you for your time.
