Fionab,

Praying all goes well with your fusions.

I have had lumbar fusion; but do not have an SCS. Because of fusion; still am unable to have MRI's. Not sure I would try to have fusion removed or even if possible.

A year or two post fusion, did see a different orthopaedic doctor who, after myleogram, thought the doctor who performed fusion should remove one of the screws that was close to a vein. Original doctor, didn't feel it was necessary to remove. That was a few years ago.

Praying as well for a speedy recovery.
