I know I've posted a long letter here, but any help even close to what I have going on would help...for example has anyone been told their fusion was cracked, or did anyone have problems later on after they had a fusion done. I didn't mean to put it in such close terms, as long as you have anything that would help, even if its a friend or someone else you know about. Most people talk about their fusion when they have it or before or just after, but few talk about what they have went thru on down the road. If you have any questions for me I'd be happy to answer them or give more info about my condition. Thanks in Advance!
