I'm going to have a spinal fusion I guess is a little tricky: L5 to S1. The surgeon showed me a 3-D video about how the procedure is done. I'm starting to have second thoughts about this. Is it really safe? Could I end up worse than before? 45 weeks 6 days ago 196
Can you give me a quick summary of the different ways to fuse the lumbar spine and the pros and cons of each one? I have had a preliminary surgical workup done and it looks like I'll have a posterior lateral interbody fusion (PLIF) but I would kinda like to know how this method measures up to some of the others. 45 weeks 6 days ago 238

Mother has had two surgeries for spinal stenosis. They both worked for a while but then her back and leg pain seem to come back. The surgeon is talking about another surgery but Mom seems unable to make the decision and wants us kids to tell her what to do. This is very unusual for her. She's always been such a strong-minded, decisive person. What should we tell her? 50 weeks 17 hours ago 135
I am scheduled for spinal surgery (fusion) in two weeks. As part of the work-up, I've had to fill out tons of paperwork including questions about my lifestyle (do I smoke? am I overweight? how do I spend my leisure time?). There was even one survey just about depression and anxiety. Is all this really necessary? It makes me feel like the doctor doesn't believe me when I tell her I'm having such intense, constant pain all the time. 50 weeks 17 hours ago 150
