MMI Rating on L4-L5, L5-S1 Fusion

[csuewall]

I injured my back in December of 2010 and finally had two level disc fusion on L4-L5 and L5-S1 on October 5th this year. My Dr. says he will probably do my MMI rating in 3 months. I am just curious if anyone you know or maybe you have gone through the same thing and what kind of rating I may expect.

depends on the rating guide your state uses and what kind of recovery you made.

Nobody else's experience with this can reasonably predict what will happen in your specific case. All patients are different; they respond differently to surgery, recovery, etc.
