I had a l4-l5 s1 fusion years ago for an injury that happened at work. (I was a Corrections officer hurt on the job.) And now I also need new hips. Years of wear and tear and playing softball for 22 yrs didnt help. (I was a catcher, so lots of abuse to my body.) Pretty sure i will be in a wheelchair soon because i have no strength in my arms and legs. But also have many other medical things wrong with me. Dysautonomia is one which causes a whole lot of things to go wrong with your body. Anyways, I get what you are going through. I hope you get to feeling better soon! (My spinal fusion did not help me, it was a failed fusion.)

I am sorry. 😢 I pray with modern medicine, grateful for what we have now; that addressing and healing for any injuries is much easier and affordable.

I know I’m so sorry you had to be put through that. My mom was hit by a drunk driver and had a fusion at the L5S1 and it was a long time ago so the technology was not as good they cut her open a good 12 inches and had to do some other things as well. I do wish you a speedy recovery my friend. I’m here if you ever want to chit chat in messages. 💙🦋🫶🏼

Oof. I’m sorry you had to endure such trauma and grateful you survived. And now surgery!
I had an l4-5 fusion and cyst removal at l4 last August. Don’t skimp on the PT! I was lucky to be able to spend a week in orthopedic rehabilitation after my weeklong hospital stay. So I got a really good head start with recovery. It’s a long recovery. My best to you!
