Great job with these videos. I'm considering L3 L4 fusion after consulting with a Neurosurgeon. I have broad disc protrusion in L3 L4 and annular bulging at L4 L5. Also arthritis through L1-5. Thanks for sharing!
This is a great point about doctors being upfront with the patient about what they can help with and what they cannot help with and the expectations for the future. I had neck surgery in 2020 with a horrible outcome and then a revision surgery in early 2023 with a much better outcome but I still have chronic pain coming from my neck. Back in 2020 I never thought my life will be so limited from that point on. Again, clear expectations and potential outcomes.
Absolutely. Thanks for sharing -- you certainly aren't alone. We've seen so many patients who have had similar experiences prior to finding VSI. Feel free to reach out to our team if you have questions in the future.
