In my case I wouldn't have had surgery at all had I known what was to become of me after. Yes mine was a fusion and I completely agree that fusions are terrible! I was told that due to me having spondylolisthesis I couldn't have ADR. Don't know if that is true or not but I was way better before the surgery.

Had a 360 lumbar fusion in May 2008 with cages, screws, hardware. It didn't fuse and one of the screws are loose. Also have a tear at L4 but they say it isn't touching the nerve. Have a bulging disc at T6 which causes middle back pain. I'm not even gonna mess with T6.
