Hi Bob,
In 1977, at 19 years old, I had a T2 to L2 fusion due to Scoliosis.
In May 2025, I had 2 surgeries, back to back. On Day 1, I had Bilateral Sacroilliac Fusions, and on Day 2, i had an 11 hour T10 to Pelvis Fusion with a 3 rod construct. My back had many issues--DDD, buldging disc, Lateral Listhesis, Spondylolosthesis, Stenosis, Nerve impingement, Bertolotti's, Flat Back Syndrome, and Tarlov Cysts (but only 1 cysts was a problem), etc.

Fortunately, my surgery resolved those issues. Additionally, the surgeon took wedges out of some of my vertebrae so now my hips have better alignment and I no longer lean forward--improving my sagital balance.

I went to Mayo Rochester for my surgery.

I just did a quick Google. Mayo Phoenix, along with Brooks Rehab, are constructing a new facility for rehab to be completed mid 2026. But there must be existing Inpatient Rehab options.
Best Wishes!
