Q: Had Lubar Fusion a Year Ago

I had lumbar fusion a year ago L4-L5 with Titianium Cages. The Surgeon told me I had a 85% chance of recovery with little to no back pain. I have been fighting the injury for 2 years now. I am in constant pain and have trouble sitting, standing, walking and most other things that require bending and lifting. I have been in my current job for over 14 years and though my job doesn't normally require lifting I ruptured a disk lifting a large generator at work. I am now considering going on long term disability.
Any thoughts,
Racer1
