Guest guest Posted January 2, 2004 Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 All I can tell you is that I had a disc removed between L4 and L5 had rods and pins and fusion. Then the disc above L4 started moving and caused a lot of pain and I could only walk for a few minutes at a time. I had a second surgery rods and pins from T9 through sacrum. Now, I am having trouble with my upper back above that surgery. I still can only tolerate walking for a few minutes. All I know is that each time I have a surgery it creates more problems then it fixes. My advise is if you can tolerate your back now, do not have more surgery.
