Has anyone had a failed spinal fusion? What can be done?

Posted by denman55 @denman55, Nov 1, 2024

I am almost 6-months post-op from having had a Lumber spinal fusion (L3-4-5). I am experiencing a lot of pain in my spine and across my lower back. I'm fearful that I may have the signs of a failed spinal fusion. I would like to hear from those who may have experienced this.

I hear ya, eight months after my spinal fusion in my L4 L5 vertebrae, nerve pain, shooting down my femur and sciatica nerve that hurts worse than the back. The pain is a lot worse than before the surgery! I can barely walk, bend or do anything! Very hard to do my job. I’m a dog trainer. Did you find out what was going on with yours?
