Having l45fusion, wgh 92 and don't heal well pain is a 7 now will it be better, how much and how long recovery?

Spinal Fusion: It's hard to say whether fusion surgery would help you since it depends on what your condition is. Spondylolisthesis tends to respond better than degenerative disc disease to fusion surgery. Your surgeon should be able to give you the statistics and likelihood of improvement.
