@skyebelieu I had a spinal fusion 11 years ago at L5-S1. A recovery for this is one year. But this procedure did not help. I work with a pain specialist who gives me pain meds. If I didn't have them, the pain would be crippling. I live alone in a big house and would like to downsize. I don't know where I would begin packing. I also had a Laminectomy in 2024 for spinal stenosis. That did help either. That one was minimally evasive. No more surgeries for me.
