I haven't had the surgery but I work as an occupational therapist for patients who have had fusions and I'd say a soild 9 out of 10 are happy they did it and wish they'd done it sooner rather than later. The few that don't get relief tend to be medically complicated in other ways. Just do your homework on your surgeon and his outcomes and the hospital's infection rate. There are website that are government sponsored that will give you all those numbers.
