I forgot that I have an appt. with Spine Dr. beg. of June because pain has been severe.  It has been 10 since I

had fusion and discs above and below are pretty bad.  Very frustrated. Take Care

…how long ago did you have the fusion?

It has been a little over 10 years.  I know 10 years is about when changes can start happening.  My gait has been

off since I hurt my left knee and subsequent surgeries so I know it has put a strain on my spine.  I also wanted

to see how my neck is doing so I had plain view x-rays done.  Just as I anticipated as I have alot of neck pain.

I am sure my spine Dr. is going to recommend surgery.

Good luck with your appt. I'm sure your altered gait hasn't been helping your back, but it's hard to walk correctly with a bum knee.

Hi Cali I wanted to wish you well at your appointment. Try not to stress about it, as the stress will cause more pain. I can attest to that, as I haven't had my Fentanyl patches for over a month. Take care.

hugs
