Had Lubar Fusion a Year Ago Posted: 06-11-07 18:28pm
I had lumbar fusion a year ago L4-L5 with
Titianium Cages. The Surgeon told me I had
a 85% chance of recovery with little to no
back pain. I have been fighting the injury
for 2 years now. I am in constant pain and
have trouble sitting, standing, walking
and most other things that require bending
and lifting. I have been in my current job
for over 14 years and though my job
doesn't normally require lifting I
ruptured a disk lifting a large generator
at work. I am now considering going on
long term disability.
Any thoughts,
