Having L4-L5 Spinal Fusion - what to expect?

My pain is in my right thigh area...I had a Laminectomy on my L4-L5 about 7 years ago. The pain this go round is much different than it was for my first procedure. My doctor is saying that the Spinal Fusion is necessary this time. Has anyone experienced the pain in the thigh area when walking or just standing for more than about 10 minutes? Pain is EXCRUCIATING! Any words of encouragement or experiences with the Fusion surgery are appreciated!
