Spinal fusion: T5 ->L3

I’ve tried lots of conservative treatment and multiple rounds of PT. I’ve consulted with a spine NS at Mayo and a spine NS at Duke…..both recommend the same thing. Living in horrible pain is no way to live. Major surgery freaks me out, too. I am not quite 50. I am seeing a local spine orthopedic surgeon this coming week.

I was fused T4 to S1 three months ago.

It was not as bad as I thought it would be and I’m doing well.

It’s still early, but as of now I’m glad I did it.
