Mark,

my first fusion was a huge success, I was losing the ability to walk and lived with excursiating pain. I recieved probably 95% relief.


My current problems are due to a freakish bone reabsorption which caused everything to go to hell quickly. I don't think my experience is the norm rather the unusual. My grandfather has a friend who had a back fusion in the 60's and has done absolutely wonderful. Good luck to you.
