Fusion surgery is now know to cause ASD (Adjacent Segment Disease) otherwise I would weld up my entire spine.
My father had Fusion surgery years ago and he's had some serious issues and eventually had a double hip replacement and laminectomy.

@vfl1998 SI joint fusion is way less serious compared to spinal fusion. I agree that I would absolutely do everything in my power to avoid spinal fusion, but the SI joint only moves about 2-4 mm. The SI joint is part of the pelvis not the spine. However, it can cause unbearable pain if it becomes hypermobile or dysfunctional in general.
