Djay, as leesa said i would DEFINITELY get atleast a couple of other opinions before coming to an answer. Different doctors can possibly see something another didn't catch. Along with you just now being a year post, you could JUST now be fused. Has your Dr. said whether everything was looked good?or anything he saw with the fusion? I assume you have had recent x-rays, mri's. etc. But most definitely i would get atleast 2 other opinions.
