Effects of tysabri and surgery

[Lil Bo Peep]

Does anyone know or have any experience with the effects of tysabri on bone surgery?

I completely agree!  I have found that all "touch" people say is "ask your Dr.".  My Dr. asks what the Touch experts recommend.  I'm scheduling a radical cervical surgery (multilevel anterior and posterior disc/lamie/graft/fusion/plate&screws) so it should be imparative that someone knows if I should continue, stop or what.
Anyone know or have experience with this??????

One of our members, Lori, has been on T over a year and Rita, has just finished her 5 or 6th treatment.  Neither of them are here regularly because of health problems so hopefully they will see this.  How about it ladies, any clue?

Thank you LGK but I have found my TOUCH team as helpful as my dog.  Well not really, my dog is more helpful!!!   The long and short answer when I had a doctor friend contact them is they don't really know, as the studies have not gone beyond 2 years.  Thus, they lack experience in that area.

I was hoping there might be a patient with first hand experience.

That's a good question and one you definitely need to discuss with your TOUCH team.

good luck,
