Aly...did he only re-look at your fusion and not at the rest of your spine?
I don't want to give anyone false hope here...there is so much that goes into this diagnosis...but when my husband had the fusion for his broken back...they only looked there...they never looked at the rest of his spine. From my understanding...if you've had an accident...they should look at the ENTIRE spine as a course of protocol just to make sure there are no other areas of compromise.
I also think they should look at the nerve foramen to make sure that there is no nerve compression coming out of the spine...not just the cord and spine itself.....
Boy, are these threads bringing back floods of emotion!
