When my partner had cervical fusion I had to smoke outside for 4 months got a lil chilly out there. This is a very unknown thing most doctors will NOT tell you but when you have fusion esp. in the neck the bones won't fuse right if there is smoke in your body. I was glad to freeze my butt of for that ..

he did not make me quit smoking for the neck fusion, but he is for the lumbar fusion.

That is what I ment, It is all in how good he is. He wouldn't even touch her neck if she was a smoker for 2 months she had to be clean and 4 months after. Be careful of your back once cut never the same. Make triple sure he is a excellent surgeon. I have girls in my group that had back fusions that are worse now than before. I got one girl that had such a horrible surgeon ( who was referred by all, nurses, other docs and such) she can never be fixed. She has had it re done 2xs. So just be absolutely sure.

he does not really want to do the fusion on the lower back. but i, have developed problems with other bodily functions which may be caused by bone spus pressing on the nerves. that's the only reason. other wise i, would probly deal with it until it put me low. know what i, mean.
