text: Sweetie I've had 5 lumbar fusions for herniated discs.\nI am currently fused from L3-S1\nAlthough it did not alleviate ALL of my pain, it did eliminate the pain that I had down my leg. Surgery comes with it's own risks though. You should be under the care of either an orthopedic surgeon or a qualified pain specialist. Good luck. I know how painful this is.
