He said he could take the disc out to releave the presure
but he also said if he tried to fuse a bone that it would not take due to my years of smoking cigs.And for the same reason he said I was a very poor cantidate for surgery
at all.all this was said by my nero surgen,Not my PCP.
I want to thank you so much for all you have told me.

My mom's been a smoker for about 50 years. She had spine fusions all up and down a few years back. The ortho made her quit smoking for about 6 weeks prior to surgery...which she did. She has had to have 2 of these surgeries and has fused just fine. If that is his ONLY reason....doesn't make sense?

Anyway...something this serious...would be more comfortable with you getting a 2nd opinion! smoooooch....PLEASE feel better!!.....Carol
