Default Lumbar Fusion

Hell CB,
I still have weakness from the PLIF, in July of this year, (One more day) and I will have one more control xray in Jan (15), I think the muscle just takes time and may never be when you were 30?.
Have talked to people that had a fusion many years ago, and they still have problems, but the bright side, that awful pain is gone, and we don't have to worry about the nerve damage.

Hope the cushion finds you well, it is better to sandwich with foam.

I hate getting old don't you? Agreed, so happy that the pain is gone except when I sit down in a chair and touch the back of the chair! I have learned to stay away from the back.

Phil,
If you're reading this, please know that I am thinking of you today and hope that Dr. Clavel does a wonderful job on your surgery today. Please post and let us know that everything went well.
