Well, I've spent the last year and a half trying to avoid spinal surgery but it appears that I am out of options. I went back to the orthopedic surgeon this morning to review my latest MRI and CT-scan films and there was further disc degeneration. I'm scheduled for a lumbar fusion (L4-L5) on November 17th. If anyone has ever had this done I would appreciate hearing about your recovery. I have great fear of surgery and quite frankly, of anesthesia.

All cyber hugs accepted.
Oh I am so glad you are back and feeling better Storm!!! *hugs*
Damn, I've been wondering about you and didn't think about this forum. I hope things are continuing to progress and so glad you're off pain medication.
