I'm sorry you have been through so many surgeries. I hope the fusion goes well. I'm glad I had it done so far. As far as being back to my normal duties I'm not really. I'm taking classes online instead of on campus and I have not gone back to work. I feel Like i'm at about 50% or my normal strength but I think it's mainly because I am weak due to being in the house for six months and having two surgeries back to back. I am in physical therapy now and progressing well. Keep me updated.

No problem. I hope your surgery goes well. Let me know if you have time.

Yes I did have DDD. That is the main reason for the fusion as opposed to other types of surgeries. Two of my disc had almost completely collapsed. Thank you so much for your encouragement!

How are you doing now?! I've had 2 lumbar fusions & one laminectomy/diskectomy.
Dx = Spinal Stenosis & DDD
Had to quit my desk job b/c I can't sit for long. Waiting for Social Security decision now.

I am doing better from week to week. It is a slow process but I am still seeing improvement. Hope social security works out for you. It's tough to fight for help when you don't feel well. Good luck

Most of all it all depends on your neurosurgeon. I am lucky to be in good hands, but my first attempts to be healthy werent so successful. I had one year of total misery and pain. Now I am slowly recovering from L5 - S1 discectomy and rhizolysis surgery with constant obstacles on my way.

You are right about choosing the correct surgeon. It is very sad how badly or neglected one can be treated when sick. Hang in there!

My GP had several bad experiences in past with neurosurgeons until he found right one. Some his patients suffer because their surgery weren't successful.

A good doc can make a world of difference. I get so nervous when choosing one because it really does make the difference in the quality of care you receive. Thanks for taking the time to comment!
