I am contemplating spinal fusion surgery for my back and would like to
ask questions of others who have had back surgery or also thinking
about it. May I please have a list of forums and/or discussion groups
where I can get my questions answered. I'm guessing words like
"orthopedics," "back," "pain," and "surgery" would help you. Thank you
very much.

I would never have been able to find these websites myself. What a
great service this is. If I have successful surgery, I'll come back
and tip the researcher very well, indeed.

Bopd62, 

Thank you for the five stars and tip!
Best wishes for a successful operation.
