I had a multi vertebrae fusion and implementation one year ago. L3-4-5. I have two titanium rods and 6 spacers to separate the vertebrae. I also had a cyst on my spinal cord that was a result of no space for the fluid to sit. I have been in worsening pain over the past 10 days. I am not yet having the numbness (that led to unexpected temporary paralysis last year) but I am having frequent urination and cannot stand up or bend over, without some leakage. This combined with intense pain on the right side of my vertebrae has me concerned. I don t know whether I should let this continue to see if it is due to overuse, or if there is another issue. I promised all of my loved ones - no more surgery for the next year.
