Hi everyone,
I am fused T2-L4 and have had three surgeries in the past year. Two fusion surgeries in July and a revision in November for loose screws at L3, L4. I recently started having a lot of pain, and an MRI shows that I have mild facet joint degeneration at L4-L5 and L5-S1. My doctor has been considered fusing me all the way down to the pelvis, even before this latest test. I am only 27, so we are trying to hold off as long we can. I can't get in to see him for three weeks, and was wondering if anyone could give me any info. Is surgery likely? Really hate waiting to find out...
Thanks,
Lauren
