Hi Lorraine666,
I had my last lumbar fusion on 1/6/2021 ; all of my lumbar discs are now fused. I had been diagnosed with DDD, degenerative disc disease. I have had the following treatments:
Three months after the last operation, I started physical therapy again.
I just completed six months of physical therapy at Professional PT in Bayside NY.
Pain is still too high at a level 5.
I am going to have Spinal Cord Stimulator installed Oct. 5. at HSS.
You just have to keep working at getting relief and never give up!!!
Be well.
Brian
