@heisenberg34 I had a Fusion at L4-S1 April 2023 I would about fall when I bent over ( now I wish I took my chances of falling) the surgery was great at first then I was twisted and a screw come loose 3 weeks later. Not sure if your M/F but I have new pain that radiates to the testicles, I can have a bowel movement stand up and brush my teeth and have to go again. I went thru pelvic therapy to help realign the tailbone which I learned when it’s out of alignment the bowels don’t move. I don’t go anywhere without a cushion to set on and the tailbone is so tender I slept in a recliner for 4 months and now I’m able to get by on an air mattress. You might consider pelvic therapy - definitely no fun for a straight male lol) but I’m at the point who cares if it helps then I’ll try it.

I'm female, have had a out 15 years of lower back pain. I did have one 7 hour surgery and had a cage put in around the lower part of spine and cushions between disks. Was slow moving after, but a lot less pain. Then the pelvic area started with some major pain. Long story short, I've had the spinal cord stimulator put in, and have about 60% less pain in the whole lower back. now being female I just had vertebroplasty procedure for fractured disks. No one prepared me for the hammering -Not fun. I also have a 20 degree curve at the bottom of my spine, and lots of arthritis. Gabapentin helps me as well. Good luck to you. There are so many of us dealing with back pain.
