Hello

I have a skilled surgeon; but have concluded that with each succeeding surgery, the chances of complications increases. It appears the body will tolerate a couple surgeries; but not 4 or more, as scar tissue forms and can impact nerves. It accumulates over time.

That said, my 4-level lumbar fusion now allows me to stand up ramrod straight, only way to avoid pain at this moment. Xray indicates the 8 screws and 2 rods are intact. Pain in lower left spine is excruciating when I get up from sitting. I can't sit in a chair or drive without constant pain 5/10 level. surgeon going to schedule another MRI; but hospitals are 1-2 months out, while I writhe in pain.

Hope you have a better outcome.
