Sorry to hear that. I have what is called spondelathiesis(sp) where my spine had slipped foward about 30% off my tail bone pinching my nerves.It is stable but afraid it maybe getting worse with age? I had a few back injection a couple years ago. Seems to be acting up again..[:@] I think I too will need a fusion later down the road. Should get it done now while still young enough to recoop! BACK PAIN SUCKS!!!!!
Good luck with you surgery and recovery! Hopefully you can get out and tag one this year!
