Good evening @joan5678. What an amazing career! I had two artists in my gallery that had been dancers in their younger days. They were able to transfer their artistic talent to clay and glass. I want to accomplish two tasks in this post. The first is to introduce you to @jenniferhunter. She has knowledge of spine surgery and fusions. I am sorry that prednisone left you without support tissue.
And now to your question about CBD oil for your "wooden blocks". I know exactly what that means. My feet have a leather-like feel even on their good days. My solutions are these: 1) a 1:3 CBD/THC balm from Papa and Barkley helps me. You can research options at:
http://www.papaandbarkleys.com. They also have a CBD-only site at http://www.papaandbarkleyscbd.com.
2) MFR, myofascial release therapy so that those feet don't prohibit driving. Here is a link to the Connect site:

Welcome to Connect......may you have happiness and the causes of happiness.

Hi Chris - thank you so much for taking the time to give me suggestions that might be helpful. Unfortunately, I have tried all of the things you mentioned. Darn. I actually have begun trying to drive again, and by doing toe and foot rapid repetition exercises, I can actually manage the pedals. I really don’t need to do that much with my feet in a good electric car. BTW, I just can’t tolerate anything with THC. It seems to interact either with my innate system or some medication that I take. Also, you cannot drive with that in your system as you could get a DUI. I am managing. I had a really bad bout of Covid that set me and my husband back almost a month, but other than being really tired, we are back to normal, whatever that is. Thank God we had all our vaccinations, and also used Paxlovid. I also responded to Jennifer, and you might want to read that. Again, thank you so much for your concern - Joan
When I click on the Papa & Barkleys link, I'm getting a message that their server is not found. I Googled them and I don't see an actual CBD.THC balm. What I do see is a Hemp balm.

@joan5678 Hi Joan. I have always admired dancers and the artistry they can do with their bodies. It's a visual treat that makes me as an artist just want to paint them. I'm glad you have joy in your life even with the struggles. I am a spine surgery patient, and have a single level fusion in my neck, but I learned a lot about other spine surgeries by watching surgeon presentations online and reading literature. As you know, inflammation is part of the healing process that sets the stage for bone growth, and it sounds like that was the issue with your first multilevel fusion surgery that didn't fuse because of the prednisone you were taking. With the second surgery, did you have a successful fusion of the bone? 9 levels is a lot to fuse and I'm sure that made a big change. Bone quality is also very important when screws are holding hardware in place with all the forces that are applied to it in supporting the body weight.
I'm glad you're here on Connect.
Jennifer
