Yes, I had spinal fusion in June 2015 when I was 69. Very successful with all credit to my amazing Consultant and surgeon Paul Thorpe at the Nuffield in Taunton. I still have problems with arthritis everywhere else - knees, ankles and now hands and wrists - but NO back pain. I also had problems with discs in my neck but avoided surgery and so far that area has been managed through regular epidurals through the Pain Clinic.Good luck with your op. Just hope you have as good an outcome as I did.

Be careful with the fetnanal patch. They are highly addictive. A close family member of mine used them for years and now they are finally trying to rid themselves of it. Went from 75 to a 12 patch without any help.
