Welcome Kelly,
You are not the first person who has had a doctor tell them their pain is in their head. We hear you and understand. Unfortunately and depending on your insurance, you need to keep looking for a doctor until you find one who believes you.
Perhaps someone on this forum can recommend a doctor in Ohio. If not, are you willing to travel? Also, curious if your doctor told you of other options instead of a fusion?
I'm sorry you find yourself in so much pain. You have learned the hard way that the right doctor is the highest priority.
I wish you much luck, Dale
