I have chronic pain which is all on the exterior of the lumbar curve and due to muscular fatigue and compensation associated with the upper curve. My lower curve has not changed since childhood, depending on who measures the xrays that day, but I have severe degeneration in my L1 and L2 - they look like one of those double lego kids' toys. I believe the fusion of the whole shebang is to try to reduce the pain and make the whole thing more stable.
Please understand that my knowledge of the human body is largely based on the electric game Operation. I'm not sure if they are going to relocate my breadbasket or fuse my funny bone during this surgery!
