got it, sorry I’m not sure how it works in that case! I really hope you’re able to figure something out! If you decide to have the spinal fusion and have questions about what it’s like feel free to message me!

I’m 22 and having mine on Thursday. If PT, meds, and other surgeries haven’t worked it’s probably your best option. It’s also worth trying ketamine infusions and CBT if you haven’t tried either yet! Both are great for chronic pain, but it’s only going to help so much if the root cause isn’t addressed. I hope it works out for you! I tried everything and nothing worked so I’m getting my spinal fusion.
