You need some opinions from OTHER surgeons (ones who didn't do your surgery) and see what they have to say. Granted, surgeons don't like to operate on people who have had another doctor do their surgery, but they can give opinions.
I would not jump into another surgery without having at least 2 to 3 other opinions. You don't even know what's wrong. Sometimes at a year after fusion, you have JUST fused. Do you know if you are fused yet? Did you NOT fuse? You need to find out why -- perhaps osteoporisis?
Whatever the reason, you need other opinions as to what needs to be done. I wish you the very best. God bless and take care. Hugs, Lee
