Billie,
Originally, they were only going to do L3 to S1 and I was going to go for that, but the surgeon that was going to do it than they did a discogram. The discogram showed every level as painful so he backed out and I had to find someone else to help me...We decided on this...I did not want to have to go through this surgery more than once...It might have been a mistake though...We shall see...One surgeon wanted to fuse T-11 through S1, but I was too afraid of that...I am stiff as well..but I was stiff from pain before the surgery...I just could not move from the pain...
Thanks for your help Billie...
