I had a double spinal fusion with really bad osteoporosis. The doctors met weekly to decide if I was a candidate. I had the surgery in 2022. I was crawling everywhere from the vertebrae breakage. I came thru fine. I can walk again! I still have lumbar pain which I am trying everything possible to alleviate that pain. So far nothing really works.

Has anyone had spinal fusion with rods and screws and at a much later date had chiropractic adjustments? I had L5-S1 fusion back in 2017. Now, with my back acting up and sending pain down both legs to the tip of my toes, I would like to see if an adjustment might help get things back in alignment. I also have a pain pump which was implanted two and a half years ago. Thanks to you all. Have a blessed day.

I don't have pain in my legs. When walking too far, my mid and lower back hurt. Also, when standing too long.
I don't know if you had the fusion if your leg pain would still be there. Sorry, I can't answer your question. What does your doctor say? What kind of decompression did you have? That sounds very interesting to me.

I have Osteoporosis and had successful back surgery. However, prior to surgery I was on the generic version of Forteo for nearly 15 months to build up and strengthen my bones. I will remain on Forteo for 9 months post surgery. (At the recommendation of my endocrinologist.)

A friend of mine on this blog is on Evenity (to build bone) for a number of months prior to his surgery.

Have you consulted with an endocrinologist who specializes in Osteoporosis?
Best Wishes!
