Hi, I'm Jenny and I'm due to have L5/S1 fusion on 2nd June for Grade 2 spondy (diagnosed Dec 2006). I'm 30 and apart from thoratic outlet syndrom,up to2001/2002, I was fit and active (Lacrosse and boxing kinda fit. It's all gone down hill from there, with anterior cruciate reconstruction in 2003, laparoscopy and laser treatment for endometriosis and since the ACL, therecently diagnosed spondy symptoms. I'm fed up andexhausted with thepain.I've done lots of excercise related therapy and physio, some facet joint injections, accupuncture and aromatherapy massage and rest. The fusion seems like a good option and one I hope will not only reduce pain but restore my balance andstability(Physical and emotional :S). If you have any advice or experienceyou can share with me I'd be grateful.
