    I know, old news, but I wanted to know more. How long did you endure pain before making decision for surgery? Did you use bone graft or donor bone? OK to ignore question if you like.

    • I went a few years with pain..but as I was very fit at the time I was fortunate not to suffer as bad as some..the bone is fused together using your own bone and rods and screws are used..in my case it was a success..do you have back problems?

    • No, thank goodness, I'm healthy as an Oak Tree in Texas. You appear very young to be having back problems. I guess the ailment is like the big "C", it knows no boundaries.
