Hi PCrane and welcome to the forum,

I'm so sorry your two level fusion did not fuse and needs to be redone. It is a difficult surgery in the first place but to have to do it again -.

I don't know why your first fusion didn't work and I can't help but wonder if the surgeon himself is not to blame. Did he not do something correctly? I'm pretty sure this would be my concern but I know absolutely nothing when it comes to fusions. This is just my first thought. I know most people tend to trust in their doctors, regardless of his level of expertise, and believe everything they are told. Experience has told me this simply isn't true. Many doctors, spinal surgeons, are self serving so I guess I'm just a little skeptical at your surgeon's skill level. Just my opinion.

Whatever you decide, good luck, Dale
