Im fused at 3,4,5,6. Had three of these damn surgeries. What they dont tell you is once you get one area fused, the ones above and below that area are under more pressure. And they can go bad. Thats what happened to me. Now Im having major lower back issues. Looking at a L4,5,6,S1 rods put in. Been doing shots to get by. Sucks getting old !!! Hang in there !! Awards

They had to remove it and put a different ones in. I will take a picture when I get a chance and put it on here. Very interesting. And I told the surgeon I wanted the old hardware. I paid for the damn stuff. $5,000 for a piece that has maybe 50 cents worth of metal. ReaPeR 1 Awards

Are they using cadaver bone, hip plug, synthetic bone ? Research the procedure online. Get second opinions !! Newsweek did an article about these fusions. May be able to find it online. They became more common after the Gulf War. Soldiers carrying all that gear were cut on the most. The article is about questionable results. I know !!! If you do have surgery, be sure after recovery to not, I repeat, do not do crazy strenuous stuff. After my second cervical fusion I built a garage and broke everything apart. Not fun. Awards

Like I said, the front fusions are pretty routine. My first two were out patient. Not trying to scare you, but just be prepared for the bones below and above to start to go. Yours may not. This is shit they didn't tell me prior to my first surgery. But mine had to be done. And it sounds like yours does too. Awards
