fusion for sacralization?

Can you have surgery for partial sacralization? My doctor said they dont do surgery for sacralization but I am reading contradictory things. I just dont want to go the rest of my life with this kind of pain. I miss being active. Skiing, biking, hiking, just standing up for more than half an hour without excruciating pain.

my husband is very busy. He is in his first year and he is finding out as much as he can for me, but he has enough on his plate I think. I admire doctors, people dont really understand how hard medical school really is and how time consuming it is. Thanks for the info though.

Again Jenni.
Your new "second job" is to get better.

NOBODY cares but YOU!

It's your body.

You are going to live in the "shell" for a long time.

A PT/ Surgeon / nurse will only have your body for a few hours....you have your body 24 hours per day 7 days per week..

Quit posting.

get into the pool....3-4 hours per day 7 days per week = 21-28 hours per week

Then post AFTER you have completed 40-60 HOURS of rehab in 2 weeks.......

you can do it!!

A major West swell is about to hit California. 10'-20'

20 years ago, I would not even surf the big
stuff 'cause my back hurt sooo bad.

I am now 52 and the next 4 days I am going to surf my brains out!!

Either I'll be dead or dead tired.

Either way I am using my "phd" I EARNED over the 25+ years

You can do it.

Just believe in yourself, because nobody else cares about your spine more than you.

I will post again on Friday PM 12-7-07

Doing really well. Although my husband was back home for the Holidays and while he was here, we were on the go all the time so my routine was somewhat altered. It proves how on top of things you really have to stay. Its easy to get into a funk again...

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
