Default surgery

Had surgery on L4-5 and S-1 years ago. Healed nicely until osteomylitis set in. Had implant of lifeport and iv therapy of vancomycin for four months. Now have L3 lying on top of hardware. Also many disc problems on cervical and thoraic. Don't fear surgery but I do fear infection and the thought of being paralized. Have degenerative disc disease. Does anyone have any input? Take flexoril, advil and injections. Legs often give out and arms.
