Default hello
Good luck in your up coming surgery. Don't hesitate to post more, people will respond. I had fusion C3-7 the last of August. I hope the surgery works for you. Be good to yourself and if you can, take physical therapy after. I did and it helped me alot. I am sure you have had the opinions and all, so it will be ok. When I first had a single level fusion, I didn't experience a lot of pain. Good luck to you and have a good thanksgiving on the 25th. ginnie

Default Welcome New Guy!!! :)

I am late welcoming you...but I sure hope your surgery was a success. I trust it has rid you of your terrible pain. You are active so will have a good recovery...I just know it!

I had a lumbar fusion several months ago and did very well. It did relieve my pain, so was worth it. Due to my MS, I can't be as mobile as I use to be, so would have done even better had I been able to do more walking and exercising.

Hope you stay around here with us. Look forward to learning more about you and finding out how you are doing!
