For those who have had multiple 4-5 [or more] lower back surgeries how did you manage to get your surgeon to perform so many? I had the typical L1-L5 fusion 3 years ago. When I talked with the doc about S-1 and/or S2 he was somewhat loathe to do more surgery because of the amount of scar tissue that he said that he would have to go through.

@bajjerfan I can’t even get the surgeon to fix an L5 loose screw after my surgeon refusing to do anything and seeing 3 other local surgeons I went to Mayo clinic in Rochester . I was told rather than have another surgery to go have a stimulator put in. It was great finally having some relief last week from the trial stimulator after 18 months now to wait on the permanent one. My fusion was L4-S1 April 2023 and L3-L5 in 2002
