@annie1

Yes, they keep recommending fusion and I have said No, but like you said, the pain continues and affects my quality of life. Have you heard of a place called the thebackinstituteneurosurgery ?
I'll have to post it to the site to ask others.
Even Mayo suggests fusions I think. I don't understand.

I had my left si fused.
85% of my pain is gone.
I saw a neurosurgeon.
I recovered rather quickly. 4 weeks I think.
No PT. I'M HAPPY I DID IT. I have to have my right done. Also right total hip replacement.

I just don't like the doc. That did my left side, very bad bedside manner. Lol

Good luck, God bless

Where did you have it done ? The Dr here said it would be a long recovery.

Inova Mount Vernon, Alexandria, VA. I was on a walker for only a little while.
But and this is a big BUT, I had a peritoneal bleed for no apparent reason. They couldn't find where it was coming from so they transfused me. It stopped bleeding on its own, thank the Lord, I spent the next 13 days on bed rest. So maybe 6 weeks.

I’ve had two fusions, and from my experience, I am worse now that I was prior to the fusions. I hope others have had better results.
