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...

I had tried all conservative treatments,including about 20 steroid injections over several years. Pain and ineffective treatments dictated laminectomies, foraminotomies, and fusion L4,L5, S1. Regretfully surgery triggered Arachnoiditis. Good luck with your issues.

I have degenerative disc’s disease, my discs were completely gone, bone on bone. After surgery in 2000 and 2010 I’m feeling 100%.
Now I’m dealing with Tarlov cysts in my spine from T6 to T12. Wishing you healing.
