I am 27 years old and I have been having back pain for 6 months now but was diagnosed
5 months ago. I went through physical therapy, pain management, and injections.
I had been doing better until I went back to work full time and now
I am back in severe pain and am unable to hardly walk. I am not having
weakness however I do have some numbness and burning in my feet along with
some leg pain. I am having a myelogram scheduled in 2 days to see what
my options are. At this point Fusion is my only option however I am afraid
it may cause other problems with my back later on. Will this be something
I can benefit from? How long do I live in pain? These are questions
that I am constantly thinking about. I have always had an active life style
and everything has come to a screaming hault. I want my life back but I don't want
to make any further complications. What do I do?
