Success after 3 years of suffering

[Keano16]

Hi Maria and others,

I think that the key for fusions success is a STRICT AND PRECISE indication for surgery.

Recently, my friend had PLIF fusion for his big disc extrusion. At first I though "How can surgeon be that crazy and do PLIF for disc extrusion?". And now when I see him completely pain free I must admit that its obvious that PLIF was indicated and performed at high level.

I want to encourage all people who have been recommended a fusion surgery not to reject it immediately. If you have big problem, if you have tried all other minimally-invasive treatment options like laser, endoscopy, interspinous technology (depending on your diagnosis) and if your surgeon suggest fusion don't look at that like on end of the world.

Regards!
