Ive been fairly good about giving some updates ....I want to maybe help others who need the same thing possibly. Its been almost a year since my two level lurabar 360 fusion and I am very happy to have had it done....I do still have some small problems but they keep fading away gradually....My back is stiff based on weather and some bad days but sooooo much better than what I was before surgery....I found out I also have a Thoracic injury and Im sure alot of my problems are from not doing as much as I can because of it.
If I dont ever get any better Im still happy.....the 360 was pretty tough to get over but way worth it.....I recommend it to anyone who uses a competant doctor who does it as full practice and with a fellowship....that is the trick!

I have been in the spinal injury section for a little while and wanted to see how everyone was doing that has helped me so much.

Hi Devon, I remeraber you. I am so glad to hear that you are feeling good. I unfortunatley am not. I had a 360 fusion of L5-S1 7 months ago. I never got better and saw a different surgeon last week. I need L4-L5 and possibly L3-L4 fused now. L4-L5 has DDD, a tear, and the disc space is compromised. I don't know what is wrong with L3-L4, but I had 5/10 pain during a discogram (10/10 on L4-L5). I am feeling really down in the dumps about it. I am only 28 and have this awful feeling that I will have a life filled with pain. I am scared that with each surgery I will just get worse. It is so refreshing to hear that you are:)
