A member asked:
Hello, i have a spinal fusion from t1 to l2 and two titanium rods. i have plans to go skydiving this week, and want a second opinion.

Your Surgeon: I think it is best to seek a single opinion on this matter and that would be your surgeon's, who placed the rods. If your surgeon suggests against it then it is for good reasons. Imagine another doctor tells you it's okay and something goes wrong... that would be a complicated situation filled with regret, anger, etc.
