Has anyone had laminectomy then needed spinal fusion?

Posted by pattyo1 @pattyo1, Apr 18 9:36pm

I had multilevel laminectomy (l2-l4) in October 2024. I had severe nerve spasms before final postop visit. I was told my nerves were "waking up". I felt like the surgeon was dismissing my pain. I am now scheduled for a spinal fusion with another surgeon. I am afraid to be hopeful based on the laminectomy results.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Spine Health Support Group.

pattyo1, a temporary trial could be good. I wonder if they'd be able to differentiate between the two pain sources. Arachnoiditis is so rare; I'm glad they discovered it. bless your choice
