Hello all. I've noticed that the majority of people on this forum have had the bone used for fusion harvested from their illiac crest or had donor bone . I'm curious if it was odd for my doctor to have shaved down the spinous process (the pokey part that you can feel if you run your fingers down the center of your spine) of my back bone on the levels that were fused and use that instead of the illiac or donor. I'm now five months post op and I'm experiencing a bit of pain at the middle of my back right in the center. It wasn't there before that I noticed, and it is sort of wondering if there are any other people out there that have had that bone missing, and what your experience was with it. It is also starting to bother me a bit that it is no longer there. before you could sort of see it through my skin and feel it, but now you can't. Thank you very much
