Default About Fusions
Hello to both of you. I hope you get in to see the right kind of doctors. How you do, really depends on just how severe the cord compression is. I would never wait 6 months to see if it got worse. If you are having trouble walking, seek out that neuro surgeon that you can trust. You don't want the vertebra to get worse. If all other methods of help have been exhausted, go for the surgery. I have had two fusions, different area, and had a good outcome. ginnie
