Guest guest Posted March 23, 2006 Report Posted March 23, 2006 Ken, Some doctor's won't even operate on you if you are a smoker! It does cause problems with healing and fusion. Sorry! Kathy > > Hello All - > > My aunt (who does not have H-Rods) but does have severe DDD & needs fusion to correct has been a smoker for 25 years - Does anyone know how smoking affects the healing and fusing process??? (of coarse smoking is bad on several levels and she is trying to quit - any suggestions on this would also be appreciated) > > Thank you!!
