What are people's experiences with spinal fusion surgery?

I am so very sorry this has happened to you. In all of my research I have never heard of a 3 level spinal fusion (L2- L5) I am sure that must have left you in agony. My only wish for you is that my Dr could see you to re-evaluate and REALLY make sure nothing can be done to ease your pain. You will always be in my prayers and I'm so very sorry that you are living in constant discomfort.

@theo316 - I had a four level lumbar fusion in 2023. I've seen many posts of folks undergoing similar procedures...So maybe not so rare?

FYI - The docs consider an L2-5 as a four level fusion as the procedure involves four separate vertebrae.
