@PeterMcCormack I had a spinal fusion on my L4 & L5. Herniated disc as well but that was no big deal. Now 10 months out and finally have relief. It was hell, but worth it. Hope you feel better! https://t.co/GxZEtDWgx9

About
Spinal fusion is surgery to permanently connect two or more vertebrae in your spine, eliminating motion between them.
Spinal fusion involves techniques designed to mimic the normal healing process of broken bones. During spinal fusion, your surgeon places bone or a bonelike material within the space between two spinal vertebrae. Metal plates, screws and rods may be used to hold the vertebrae together, so they can heal into one solid unit.
