I am new here - just come across the site today. I have had several years of spinal surgery and am being told I need more soon. I would love to hear from anyone who has had similar experiences. My last op was anterior L4/L5 discectomy, bone graft and fusion, and revison of posterior instrumentation. Took 9.5 hours in total and now I am being told I need similar surgery at L1/L2 Its all a bit daunting. Is surgery the only way or has anyone experience of being treated successfully for pain control and is so how!
