Hello Merl, I had spinal fusion surgery in August because of severely herniated disk at L4 & L5.
It caused sever pain with my sciatic nerve going down one leg. My surgery was a success, I am still recovering though, as it takes a long time to build up strengh and flexibility again. Make SURE your Doctor comes highly recommened and has had successful surgeries with his patients.
