@retiredx3 Will you be seeking other opinions? There may be other factors that can affect the ability to heal after fusion surgery such as bone density and other health issues. It is worth asking other doctors if this is the case and if anything can improve your chances. Sometimes surgery isn't the best answer, and perhaps physical therapy can help ease symptoms a bit.

After 2 opinions with both being from same major medical school/provider, I will be seeking a 3rd opinion from a totally new doctor in a different organization. So far, no one evens considers PT an option. I'm at age 83, and previous to this debacle, have been very active in volunteering at 2 different places on a weekly basis. Currently all I see and hear is "your age".
