Last year I had a disc removed and a spinal fusion done. Last month I slipped and fell at the grocery store. There is a fracture in the spine that just isn't healing. The surgeon wants to do a fusion. The last fusion I had hurt so much, I vowed I would never do it again. But now this fracture hurts so much I'm considering it again. What should I expect? 5 years 35 weeks ago 158
I went with my husband to the surgeon who is going to do a spinal fusion on him. They are going to use bone from along the back of his pelvic bone for the graft.

Have you ever heard of getting scoliosis when you are 70 years old? That's what happened to me. I thought this was something teenagers got. Can you explain how I got it? 5 years 36 weeks ago 233
