Before I had heart mitral valve repair, I found several informative videos on the procedure on YouTube. If nothing else, it might help you form questions to pose to your doctor. Good luck with your path to better health.Has anybody on here ever had a spinal fusion and how well did you recover and is it worth doing?
If my memory is right , I think mine is L2 -L3 and is planning on fusing them together. I was hoping it was just going to be go in there and clean around the sciatic nerve and remove the bone away from it but not that lucky I guessI've had 2. C5/C6 and C6/C7
My pain is gone, but still have some tightness and lost some rotation. I can still do everything I used to do. Rehab wasn't all that bad. I would do everything you can to avoid the surgery as long as possible...then get the surgery.

My Dad was recruited by Bama football and as a result of improper benefits they were fined and placed on probation. Posted it years ago on PF and was mocked until I went back and got old newspaper articles that was in the Bammer papers. Front page of the Birmingham News lol
Proud of you Pops!
My true hopenis for you is that everything goes very well. Prayers for you.Just woke up middle of night , incredible pain, xray showed problem, mri showed they the round bones had slid back out of place, where they were rubbing the front of my spinal cord, which is not what nature intended. Absolutely hate pills but have had to have them to endure
