I had fusion L4-S1 in October of 2024. The pain from that surgery was unimaginable for at least 6 weeks. Still heavy pain at 3 months. It’s been a little over 6 months and I told my dr. that something isn’t right. He ordered a Myelogram and it shows the L5-S1 did not fuse, and loose screws on S1. I’m heartbroken. I hope you have a much better outcome.

So sad! I hope you can get this situation rectified. What was the reason for the fusion? I, too, had a fusion at L5-S1 eight years ago to correct(supposedly) spondylolithesis. It was a tough recovery, but it never provided any relief. What troubles me, looking back, is that two previous MRIs did not show any such condition. It was labeled the infamous "Failed back surgery syndrome". Wish I had been a little more savvy back then.
