Thanks. I have osteoporosis which is a complicating factor for fusion. What did you have and what were your symptoms?

@annie1 I had a T11 to L4 fusion to correct my scoliosis curve. I did not have osteoporosis.
My symptoms were extreme back pain on the right side because my muscles were trying to keep my back straight and sciatica pain. I remember sitting in my surgeon’s office and he told me the surgery would fix my pain….and it did.
Best, Sherry
