new member/long time reiter's/back fusion

[Guest guest]

had a colonectomy 8 years ago; followed with jpouch surgery; constant

inflammation and infection triggering more reactions. now, doctors

recommend spinal fusion of lumbar area. won't that just be a source

for more arthritic reactions?

i'm in constant pain and one of my nerves is in danger of being cut

but i still can surf so am against the surgery until i can't, dave
