What is coQ10 ? It sounds like you still have pain after the fusion though, right ?

I'm interested in the supplements you are taking. Is the tumeric in pill form? Did your Mayo doc suggest these supplements? That is so good that you slowed/reversed your osteoporosis!

halhawkins, thank you so much for the kindness of your warning.

Annie1. you are right to have concern. Your bones have to be strong enough to hold the screws.
What are and what were your T scores L2 through L5. How long have you been on Evenity. What will you take following Evenity.
Your bones may be strong enough for a single segment Tops.
You might contact the manufacturer. https://premiaspine.com/find-a-doctor/
Have you looked at this surgeon's reviews. It can be good to know his success rate and how many of these surgeries he has done. Some doctors don't like those questions since it questions their skills.
The surgical guidelines don't mention osteoporosis in patient selection.
I haven't had the procedure, but hope someone who has had success responds. The potential with Tops is exciting.

The surgeon who recommended it is actually the head of neurosurgery at the Cleveland clinic a very impressive position. He said he's only done about a hundred of those tops procedures which isn't that many but he said they're mostly people over 65 which also contradicts other things I've heard and read. I don't understand how someone in his position could be lying so it's very confusing. I have a very degenerated spine many places are collapsing but I think you would only put the device in one place. They also said he couldn't guarantee that it would get rid of my main symptoms but they all say that because my symptoms apparently are unusual. My legs throb painfully after I walk.
