[QUOTE="Davey Crockett, post: 372246, member: 367"] A few years ago a surgeon gave me the option to do L4-L5 fusion or a fusion from L3 to L5. He was confident that L4-L5 was the source of the nerve pain but based on the MRI reading, he said theres a big chance that L3-L4 would give me trouble down the road. I thought I was too young for the full fusion, I was missing golf and a lot of other things that I used to enjoy so I opted for L4-L5 fusion thinking it was the least invasive and not as much loss of range of motion so I could go golfing again, even knowing that I'd probably need another surgery in the future. In hindsight , I should have went with the full fusion because a year after surgery it still hurt when I tried golfing and It freaked me out that I could feel the rods or screws in my back immediately after I swung a club. I wasn't about to wreck it again over a game so I quit golfing. Like the old saying goes, If I would have known I'd live this long I would have taken better care of myself. [/QUOTE]
