Has anyone had a Foraminotomy ?

My very first foraminotomy was on my L5-S1. I did not have fusion. This helped me for 5 years until my degenerative back condition continues.

hope you had a great Thanksgiving. So what do they do in a foramintomy and how long was your recovery ? My surgeon seems to think he would have to do fusion to prevent spine instability. Is that true ? maybe age has something to do with it ? I am not up for fusion !
