neck/back surgery
Tracy, no matter what you decide we hope the best for you.
Sue had her L4L5 fused last year and her SI fused this year
She has not recovered well from the latest and now is showing signs of problem below L5
About 4 years ago another doc was to have removed some spur in L4L5 area but instead removed the bone completely (Butcher) the last doc did both L4L5 fusion and SI. he is highly recommended in back surgeries.
Each person responds differently. Sue having Parkinson and her age is part of the slow recovery
Good Luck
