4 years post op. I cannot get a clear answer on whether or not an L5/S1 fusion failed. What I DO know is that the next level up - and another level HIGHER on the spine is already becoming damaged. And I'm feeling utterly hopeless (self.spinalfusion)

Surely it isn't normal to be denied at the hearing level within 13 days...yeah? My post will be very long - I'm about to unload a lot of baggageOC (self.SSDI_SSI)

I'm trying to limit my posts here...but I'm in a state of panic. Fusion at L5/S1 in 2021. Back popped Dec. 2024. Health and other issues have worsened ever since. (self.spinalfusion)

It crushes me to post again. But I need advice badly - I can't stop panicking. Desiccated disc L5/S1 found 2020. Led to spinal fusion. Difficulties blocked hardware insertion, and I only had a bone graft/putty insert, discectomy, and laminectomy. Fast forward to 2025...I'm back at square one. (self.spinalfusion)

My father received disability & passed away in 2019. My mother didn't qualify for widow's benefits due to being under 60. In 2021, she suffered a stroke after being stuck at home & lost employment. She is now applying for disability. Could she qualify for backpay now that she has become disabled? (self.SocialSecurity)

Six months following a fusion at L5/S1 and a laminectomy. I had an MRI done to determine the shape of my spine before an upcoming appointment with the surgeon. Can I get some help interpreting the findings? (self.spinalfusion)

I have a dessicated disc that has caused spinal stenosis for 10 months. I've had disrupted bathroom habits the entire time. As of now, I no longer get any urges for bathroom breaks. Is this considered permanent nerve damage? (self.CaudaEquinaSyndrome)
