Avoid Spinal Fusion at All Costs

Tweet

I suffer from extreme lower back pain as the result of having my lower spine fused from L3 to S1. The fusion took care of the sciatica, but pain iincreased. Now I have a carbon fiber cage, titanium rods and screws keeping my lower back from moving. I live in Montana where the weather changes often, the titanium senses those weather changes and it hurts like heck. There are alternatives to fusion, make sure you speak to at least 5 surgeons who are not related in practice and go with the recomendation that is recommended the most.
