What are people's experiences with spinal fusion surgery?

Just my own opinion but always get a 2nd opinion from a qualified spinal surgeon. Unfortunately most of us don’t ( like me ) and we end up in worse shape than before. Once done, it can not be changed. Just a FYI, only 1 out of 8 patients resume normal employment after spinal surgery. ( I was one of the other 7 lol ) . Also after any spinal surgery, you face adjacent disk disease where the stress is put on other vertebrae. …..David
