Post fusion 2009: now l4-5 right facet joint arthrosis, severe neural foriminal stenosis with some compression. surgery needed?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need for 2nd O.R.: Adjacent level changes are common after fusion surgery. Conservative treatment is still warranted like therapy, body mechanics, and facet ( joint) injections, but surgery may be an appropriate option at the appropriate time.
