Surgery should be a last resort when the pain is so bad you can't take it anymore. I got to that point and had L4, L5, S1 fusion and multiple lumbar levels of decompression. The surgery triggered Adhesive Arachnoiditis. Be very careful. Surgeons love to perform surgery.

What led you to have L4, L5, S1 fusion? Did it happen in one go?
I have a very high pain / uncomfy threshold from ultra running so I don’t know what’s for me and willl cause future damage.
At the moment, my calf and hamstrings get really tight - feels like the next day after running 50 miles. The issue is triggers when I am just sitting down, standing up in one spot, etc. Its happening almost every day now, whilst earlier in the year : late last it it would only occur after running over 5 miles, which was bad already.
Fitness seems to be deteriorating quickly... it just seems weird. I don’t think it’s psychological after being told of the results.
Perplexed and a bit confused...

What did you do about the arachnoid? I also have that foot 3 years now, and have spondylolithisis ln 3 areas, plus polyneuroppithy for 30 years. Docs arnt very helpful at all. Prayers seem to help to deal with it all.
