recovery from back surgery

[kit]

Limbo, you have a good surgeon. Mine told me once I got the fusion the pain would go away. By telling me this it made me want to have the surgery. Had he been honest and told me that due to the bone loss from the first and second discectomy's that the L5-S1 are was unstable and I needed to get that fixed, but It probably won't help your pain, I might have not been so quick to jump on the fusion band wagon. Now here I sit in pain, worse than before, tee'd off because the fusion was supposed to "fix" everything. I now have to make a decision on whether to have my hardware removed, or have a stimulator put in to control the pain. I just wish I would have found this site before I had the fusion.
