Spinal Fusion

My husband had a failed spinal fusion in 1989. He was in a clinical study and we are having a hard time getting any info on the success rate or any other info.. If there are any people here who are also having problems after your fusion, please be in touch.    Cara

Old failed surgeries can be repaired much easier now, with much better results. There is no sense in living with pain and weakness.

I am sorry I did not see your post until now. My husbands fusion was the lower back and he never got any better. It is unique for every person and I do hope you are feeling better by now. I also have bad disks in my neck and the surgery has been mentioned. I will wait it out for now, Please let me know how you are doing...Cara
