There are nerve stimulators that can be implanted which might be worth learning about. I, too, am fused from L2 to L5. Now I have significant pain from L5-S1 and from both S-I joints. Those are the only remaining areas that can move in my lower back. Find a neurosurgeon you trust and ask about a spinal nerve stimulator. I think it would be worth asking about. Good luck and I'm sorry you are in so much pain.

Do you have a spinal nerve stimulator.

How long after the fusion did you start having pain L5-S1?

I’m 76, and for some unknown reason, My lumbar region look like a bomb went off in it. My surgeon wants to fuse L3 down to S1!! Will I be able even to pick up something off the floor after that?

Thanks!
