I had a total spinal reconstruction (L1-S2) seven years ago.

Total spinal reconstruction, L1-S2, in 2017, another surgery in 2019 to add a spacer at S2. These surgeries were in addition to a cervical spinal fusion in 2016. So, long story, short, I have chronic pain and still go to pain management. I do consider the two surgeries “failed”. Prior to the surgeries, my neurosurgeon counseled me that I would be “pain free”. I doubt that I would have even considered the TSR but he told me I would be in a wheelchair within a couple years if I did not have it. Any other experiences like mine? Please.
