I have a t11-L3 fusion. Now I have a lot of problems with my lower back. The Dr. Say think about having them removed. Has anyone had this. How long is the recovery. Do you have to use a brace during the recovery? It has only been fuse for 16 months. Mine was fused as a result of a fracture. I would really appreciate any info you might have on the removal surgery and what to expect.

Hi Kasey...
There are many threads on this topic, so in addition to responses you receive here, you might want to do a search on the word REMOVAL.
