Dear Dr Lasich - I'm six weeks post op spinal fusion surgery. Dec. 8, 2011 and then again eight days later I was in so much pain.

This is scary because I have also had a fusion 2 yrs ago and 3 wks ago woke up in extreme pain and problems with my left leg, have to go back to the Dr. because it looks like a bone chip was found.
