I have  a non union at L4/5 and  i am now 14 months post op and I am in a lot worse pain then before my operation. I can't stand up straight most days after siting for no more than half an hour or if I have a long day( by this I mean a normal day) the only way to make it straighten up and pain to ease is by laying down for an hour or more. I can't live a normal life anymore and wonders if anyone has had this before? Or know of any solution I can do? What have people done after having a non union before at L4/5? Many thanks, jo x
