[QUOTE="Wilson7, post: 255322, member: 39729"] I had 4 consults with different neurosurgeons, all told me fusion was the only option if I wanted to stay out of a wheel chair and in constant pain and the outcome would likely be in my favor. Little choice. I'm a QOL guy, without it I'd rather be dead. I don't fear death, I fear a life without function or quality. Choice was either a bullet in the head or surgery. I figured I'd try surgery, if that didn't work, option B. Wouldn't put my girlfriend or friends through more than the very basics of the first 3 weeks, then mostly on my own. I work at a commercial gym, surrounded by older guys like myself with a survivor QOL mindset. Many have had fusions, they are all still walking and working out. Without, none of them would be. Many different variables have to be weighed before a decision is made, and you are right, think of what this will do to others and consult with them discussing worst case outcomes, it is not just about the patient.
