@bassetmom I had a multi-fusion complex spine surgery - 2 parts 3 days apart - T-11 to S-1 December 2021. I was in so much pain, I didn’t want to die but I started to understand why someone with this amount of pain constantly, would. I had a neurosurgeon who was an expert in a Seattle hospital. I have never regret the surgery. It was a long recovery - I guess, but I’m not in pain. I have some discomfort if I sit too long on the wrong kind of chair but it’s not terrible; I can walk long distances, and do almost everything I used to do. Though I still have some numbness in one of my feet, I chalk that up to waiting too long for surgery - nerve damage. Not sure if that’s typical. I’m happy and looking forward to seeing my surgeon for my 5-year checkup.
