multiple fusions?
 

Hi To All :)
Does anyone know or have multiple fusions In the lumber spine? If so how is life?
Thanks

Fusions can limit movement, especially multi-level. You should also be aware that multi-level fusions in the lumber spine is often contra-indicated. It puts enormous pressure on adjacent segments, often leading to degeneration of those segments with DDD crawling up your spine. I've also read many a post about the screws loosening necessatating surgical intervention. However, insurance companies in their infinite wisdom, pay for this surgery. Whoopie!
