    Get it done, Bud - and don't listen to the pain-sayers, everybody's different, plus the pain you have now should be gone, so there's a big help.
    I've had the lower back fusion/screws/pins/etc - best thing I ever had done. Hope you have the same result.

    HOLY CRAP !!! They swapped your feet with Big Bird :eek:
    Tell them you want yours back o_O
    And keep your mind in a good place - it gets less painful just about every day, not counting the first few.
