        Especially a massive spinal fusion with rods and screws and everything haha. I just hope it can help improve my health, I'm tired of being bedridden and walking with a cane, though there are a ton of success stories. The current US womens rock climbing champion and Olympic athlete, Kyra Condie, has a spinal fusion for example. If my recovery is anywhere near as good as that I'll literally cry.

            All depends how good the recovery is haha. I'll definitely give it a shot, I still have most of my gear somewhere. Also I have to wait 6 months after the surgery to try intense exercise, so you're going to have to wait a while lol

          I know there are a number of reasons why some people can't, but if it's possible to do disc replacement, you should. Down time is a little longer, but cost is actually similar and you keep most of the flexibility instead of basically losing the joint.

          I've got three herniated discs in my neck from a car accident last year, probably getting the surgery before too long. Big issue is whether the car insurance will pay for it, shithole country etc.
