I had a lateral spinal fusion operation in Dec 2016 and a posterior spinal fusion in Jan 2017.  After a couple of days I was in extreme unbelievable pain in my right hip.  My crp went up to over 350.  To say that I was ill is an understatement.  A year on and I still can only walk for a few minutes and to top it all, have a large incisional hernia in the side of my abdominal wall which is inoperable.  I wish that I had never had it done.
