Thank you, my curve is 47 degrees. Its a PCO that he wants to do.
L1-5 discs are crumbling-Surgeon’s words. Wants to put titanium cages.
All is hear from those who had this kind of fusion are comments that are negative. Is there another opinion…surgeon says if I don’t do anything, my curve will get worse, and running risk of permanent nerve damage.
X ray from last month and the other from 2020. Ugh.

You have not done anything to repair your 47 degree curve. You should get another opinion if you are not comfortable withe what you have been told. If you have the opportunity to get L1-5 discs replaced and the surgeon says it needs to be caged at Mayo I would do it But there are allot of surgeons see what another one says. Were all the negative comments that heard about this from people that had titanium cages from Mayo ?
