@cpalisano Hi, I’m sorry to hear about your pain. Would you mind sharing when you had your surgery and what kind you had? I had a T11 to L4 fusion in December 2024 and am just now feeling better, although lumbar is very stiff and still have pain in the afternoon/evening.

Sorry to hear you are still feeling pain. Recovery takes time . Follow the re-hab schedule strictly, patience is important. My inquiry regarding fusion in the Thoracic area is based on a potential future surgery. Regarding Lumbar, I’m fused from L1 thru L3 , 3 separate surgeries. Generally successful. Possible T8-T11/ L5 -S1 fusion/ cages possible procedures. I appreciate your input. Again patience
