  • Wow sorry to hear you’ve had back surgery.. I’ve been struggling with back pain for over 10 years and fighting off the desire to have a lumbar fusion.. docs are telling me to wait and things will change, hard to take when everyone says just get the surgery. Speedy recovery! Respect! -YaMon

    If you get a fusion, check with many surgeons. Also see if a synthetic disc would work. Wasn't an option for me, but helped others.
    This was my 5th spinal since 95. Hoping thelast. 9 hours, removed old hardware, extended fusion, decompressed spine, etc. Got better surgeon this time. Prevented guaranteed paralysis. So can't complain. Was in May. Pain is still bad, but better control than in years.

    Oh man, that’s nasty. I have three spine docs, all are saying no fusion. My L4-L5 is completely blown out. Disc fiber tears are causing all kinds of pain. Sending good vibes your way my friend! Respect! -YaMon
