Surgery
Posted , 4 users are following.
I have to decide if I want surgery. I have prolapsed disc and a bulging disc. The surgeon is suggesting a disc fusion while also sorting the bulging disc.
I understand the procedure for bulging disc is pretty straight forward but the fusion is more of a risk.....I have a week to decide and was wondering if anyone has had a fusion? What was result?
Thank you

Surgeon has suggested fusion sort bulging disc and metal plate and cage to support the lower part of spine.
At present I can't bend down, stretch up, lift drive far ,sit for longer than 30 minutes. Lie flat walk up stairs lean over or twist with pain...I have pain constantly in lower back buttocks left leg.
I'm just over 50 and have been unable to do my job since August I really want to get back to normality
