Been fighting this for nearly 3 years... Had a surgical date at the beginning of Covid and it was cancelled (voluntary surgery). Symptoms have varied but have ALWAYS been on the left side. From wrist pain (treated as carpal tunnel) to elbow pain (treated as ulnar nerve inflammation) to shoulder pain (after a complete shoulder rebuild (not replacement)) where my shoulder surgeon said lets grab an MRI which came back with lots of stenosis, lots of osteophytes, etc...
I've had 2 hip replacements, 3 knee scopes, full shoulder rebuild, and now this fusion. Definitely in the osteo portion of my life and hope to have at least 1 year where I'm not hurting AND not healing from another procedure...
Any experiences others can share? How did it turn out, positive or negative, regrets doing it, regrets not doing it sooner, etc...
