Did they take bone > plugs out of your hip? The surgeon went in from the back. If he had not had to take off the back of C-7 for a biopsy, he might have gone in from the front. He said the back access was much more painful than the front access, but I have not really been in a whole lot of pain. Compared to some of the perfume- and allergy-induced sinus headaches I have had, this is less when I keep up with my oxycodone and oxycontin. In addition my trachea, voicebox, and other things were not disturbed as they would have been for a front approach. He used what was usable from my C-7 and some allograph (i.e., cadaver) bone to fill in where needed. He did not touch my hips.
