Hello all, I am kinda discombobulated with the news I recieved. I am not only facing an anterior spinal fusion but also have to get a corneal transplant for my left eye in 3 months. Very frustrating news.
My spinal surgeon recommended that I try all exercise and pain management before going ahead with the spinal fusion, but I have already done all that. He seems like a really good doctor though. He said that he may do a 2-3 level lumbar fusion with keyhole surgery, but explained that he cannot garantee that it will do anything for the pain. Kinda damned if I do damned if I don't. Finding it very difficult to manage at the moment. Anyways, just needed to vent to people who would understand my predicament.
