Hi again Cheryl. Our stories are so similar and yet so different at the same time! I am 34, I've been a medical receptionist at 4 different offices over the last 8 years. I had T-8 and T-9 fused. That's horrible about your reaction to the pain pump. I have improved a tiny bit, I've started ignoring the pain more, which is probably a stupid thing to do. I see my surgeon next week for my 2 mo follow up, I'll try to ask him about the reoccurence factor.
I don't know if I have fusion yet, I never thought to ask.
I feel like something is broken when I'm tired.
Hang in there. Talk to you soon. ~Crys
