Are there alternatives to spinal fusions?
I am 77 and have back pain. My doc said my disc L5, L4, L3 are degenerated and I need a fusion. I know many people who had it done and it's painful and recovery takes a long time.
Are there any advances like "replacement disc" or any treatment to avoid a fusion.
Talk to an orthopedic technologist about what might be available in the line of bracing. There is not anything commercially available i nthe line of a replacement disk.
