[QUOTE="Davy Crockett, post: 183761, member: 367"] The only advice I have and it's more of a personal opinion than anything but if you have more than one "Bad spot" in your back , Strongly consider taking care of all of them in one surgery. when I was presented with the option to have a full lower back fusion I decided to just take care of the worst part instead (Thinking I was tough and would be golfing again in a few months) Boy was I wrong. I had the L-4-5 fusion and the nerve pain was taken care of so the surgery was a success . The problem is now that the nerve pain is gone , I realize that the pain in L-3-4 and S 1-2 that didn't feel that bad pre-surgery all of a sudden feels worse. Once the shooting nerve pain went away for the first time in many years I have no desire to ever swing another golf club. All the activities that were important all of a sudden don't mattert anymore. I don't do well with anesthesia , Hospitals or strong pain pills so unless it gets intolerable its one and done for me. [/QUOTE]
