I have spinal compression and severe stenosis. I saw 2 orthopedic dr’s. That said a fusion is a possibility but they don’t even discuss how it could help my feet. I know several people that had a fusion didn’t help the neuropathy and actually made it worse. I am going to see a Neurologist to see what he thinks is next month.

I have spinal stenosis. I have had two laminectomies years ago. I would not let them do a fusion at this time. They want to do a multilevel fusion with lots of hardware. Unfortunately, I have heart issues and I’m not a good candidate for surgery with anesthesia. My surgeries were done by Neuro surgeons, not orthopedic surgeons. I would have my MRI evaluated by a neurosurgeon.
