My husband is going to have a back operation in which the doc's want to remove his steel implants at L4 and L5 as well as removing his vertibras from his neck down to the L4 area and fuse the spine together. He's scared to death of what the results might be. Has anyone ever had this type of operation done before and if so how are you doing today? Thankyou for your replys and god bless you.

hi there welcome to boards. I myself cannot help you, as i have not had that kind of surgery. i just wanted to bump up your post till someone more knowledgeable comes along. that does sound kind of harsh tho. They want to fuse ALL of the vertabrae?? wow thats even hard to imagine. i hope you find the help you need here. im sure someone will come along with some answers or advice for you. nice to meet you!!! http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/wave.gif
