@kellyb58 yes I am recovered and my lumbar was 100% awesome although I’ll be going back for another one in the near future. My but it was 2018 so I’ve had awesome success and a full life. My cervical surgery in 2023 was a problem because no one realized my bones were soft so I had to have a second more dramatic surgery, which limited my mobility, but the debilitating pain is gone. I suggest everyone look around for the best surgeon they can find. My hip joints were replaced in 2012 in 2014. I’m still enjoying those a lot. I’ve had a few other surgeries in between. I am no longer fearful of surgery making the arrangements is a pain in the butt because I’m all by myself, but I will get it done.! 🙂
