My husband had L3-5 fused three weeks ago. Ended up needing a 2nd surgery 2 days after the fusion due to fluid build up on his L5 nerve. Ended up in ICU for 4 days. He came out of surgery with foot drop in his right foot. Surgeon says it is a 50/50 chance he will regain use of his foot. Has anyone else been through this. The fusion was necessary as his back was a mess. He has had 2 prior surgeries and the fusion was the final fix. I'm not looking for any debates or wanting to bash the surgeon. He is a wonderful well respected specialist. Just hoping to hear other peoples experiences and recovery stories.
