Appt w/ Dr. Errico tomorrow/possible fusion to sacrum

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

Wondering if you can help point me towards a list of questions to ask Dr Errico

tomorrow.

I am fused T6-L4 with a Harrington Rod done 26 years ago. I now have a herniated

disc at L4-L5 and L5-S1. I have had no feeling in my foot for weeks as it is

pressing on a nerve. I saw a Neurosurgeon who doesn't see the need to do an

osteotomy or even touch the first procedure. But he does think the last 2

Vertebrae need to be fused to the sacrum to avoid future slipping. I'm nervous

that Dr. Errico is going to recommend a complete revision and fusion all the way

to sacrum as well due to Flatback. Obviously I'd like to avoid that at all

costs. I just want to make sure I have as much info going into this appt. as

possible so I can make an informed decision. Please help!

Thanks,

Jody
