A member asked:

I have had l4/l5 fusion 2 years ago. now there are signs of severe damage to l3/l4 and l5/s1. what can i do to slow this damage down?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Comments: There was a study demonstrating progressive arthritic deterioration above and below the site of fusion, and this seems to be your issue. Would definitely contact an expert spine surgeon but also get involved in aggressive rehabilitation program under supervision of expert physical therapy clinic. A physiatrist is also recommended.
