After years of pain and loss of mobility, I was referred to a surgeon.
In September of this year, I was told that a simple operation would free me from pain and restore me to mobility.
In September I had an MRI of my spine.
Two weeks ago, I returned to see my surgeon for the verdict......
I was told that the simplke operataion is not an option.
Instead, my surgeon proposes to carry out Spinal Fusion surgery..
I cannot go through it. My research leads me to believe that it has many more risks than possible benefits.
I'd like to hear from fusion patients.
