L4-L5 360 Spinal Fusion-2/17

I had back surgery in April of 2016 to remove a pesky synovial cyst. It was causing new pain in my back and leg. In December of 2016 it decided to return, so we did a spinal fusion to remove it permanently. I was only in the hospital for two days and would have been released sooner had my blood pressure been cooperative. It would drop every time I would try to stand up. I had the option of a 360 fusion where they go through the stomach and the back, or they could just go through the back. I decided to have the 360 because the surgeon told me his patients have a higher success rate with it. It was a 6 month recovery and well worth it. I still have my normal sacral pain from my fractures, but the area they operated on is good. I highly recommend Dr. Denning with Dallas Neurosurgical & Spine Associates. He performed both of my back surgeries and did an awesome job! Has an excellent bed side manner too, which is sometimes difficult to find.
