as a child in the 50s s, , basically an infection in my bones, apparently my family didn't know. I know now. at 68 and retired from the medical field I've had fusion at c 5-5-7 also lumbar 3,4 herniated and L-5 exploded and is gone, 11 wks. ago fell on my butt and am trying to recover from a L-1 compression fracture, no surgery, no walk again. kind expert on back pain if you have a GOOD NEUROSURGEON, and huts beyond belief, go ahead, be careful things are probably going to get worse. good night,, and good luck

Thank you for your honesty. Did you mean be careful and that things can get worse with fusion? I've been told that and I've been reading that from people on Reddit. Some have been helped. And how do you determine who is a good neurosurgeon? There's not many surgeons whose reviews are bad. It seems like the only way you can really find out if is hearing from someone directly who had surgery with them and that's not easy to find. But what did you mean by good luck because are you saying fusion isn't going to help?
