I am having a spinal fusion done in a few weeks, I have a 47 degree lumbar curve w/ herniated / degenerative disk disease. The vertebrae being fused are L5-S1. I'm scared to death and any advise or anything would be much appreciated.
I am making a list of questions for my surgeon, as I will see him the week before my surgery, but here are a few for you guys..
...How was your pain managed, both after the surgery in the hospital and after discharge?
...How many days were you in serious pain after surgery?
...Were your original symptoms gone right after the surgery?
I have many more, but for later... =)
Anyone can feel free to message me or whatever too. Thanks!
