Fusion Pain

[chanch]

I also had a fusion 1 1/2 years ago, and now I'm starting to have severe nerve pinching, and pain down my right leg. I just would like to know why. I have four levels fused From L-5 and down. I am wondering if I did something wrong.

I would get away from the chiro and see an md..the chiro cannot prescribe or read an mri..but he can do more damage...adjacent joint disease is when the level next to the fused disc degenerates..it happens 3% a year for 10 years...go see a neurologist

what is adjacent joint disease? I made myself an appointment for the decompresion thing, with a chiropractor. I hope he advices me to take an MRI

you might get another mri...adjacent joint disease is 3% per year for 10 years
