Thanks for your help in clarifying surgeon knowledge...yes my surgeon did not think that fusion was an option for my nerve pain and what I described as symptoms. My pain seems to vary every day. One day it is a numb leg the next day my lower back hurts and another day it is my left hip but it is always on the left side. That is why he thought a fusion would not help me? So...I am hunting a new surgeon and actually filled out infonfor bonati spine institute and they just called me. A friend of mine went there with great success....any others know about them? They are in Florida.....any other suggestions?? Thanks so much!
