It's those longer term outcomes that worry me. I know a woman who is less than 2 years out from a fusion and very happy, I hope she will be equally pain free 5 and 10 years from now.

the way it seems is either those people that posted on here before they got their surgery ( which was some time ago ) either feel too good like you mentioned because they are doing well OR they are doing worse!! which could in worst cases mean surgery fail and death. not to be negative but these surgeries are very serious and need time to think about than to just take advice from anyone that has had surgery and is able to post back about it. ( risk risk risk)
