Hi SydneyJo and thank you...i didnt realize these type of sites were out here..very pleased that they are.Well i had my app. yesterday and now im getting worried..im goin to ramble abit here..When i got hurt in 2001 Orthopedic surgeon told me i had spondylolisthesis (forward slip) of vertebraes...ruptured discs..bilateral sacroiliitis some other things like pars defect and nerves pinched other medical terms i didnt understand, but overall after serveral months pain was manageable and stayed manageable with Apo-Naproxen 250mg 3x daily...Mylan-Cyclobenzaprine 10mg 3x daily with off and on physio continued to work( on a farm..strawberry plants.. pennierals) for 10 yrs. Oct 7 /09..pain became very unmanageable assuming the forwards slip happened..seeing my doctor CT scans confirmed again the above on Oct 7..only this time after 7 months i still cant keep the pain under control even with above meds and Hydromorphone 2mg every 4 hrs as needed...one wk things start to settle then the next wk gets servere again..The CT scan that came back yesterday of my S1 joint showing bilateral sacroiliitis in both joints with erosion of the right She is talkin about
a fusion on the right side and telling me the likehood of me returning to my job are very slim.She is just my family doctor and feels i need to see Orthopedic surgeon again.But she has me very concerned about
my back now..and very unclear to what a fusion is..and also fighting with WCB for this was work related from my prior injury in 2001.Sorry for rambling but this is very fustrating..So for now i need to wait to get into a specialist.Any formation anyone interested in sharing about
a fusion with simliar symptoms i would be interested in hearing
