Surgeries From AS?

A MySpondylitisTeam Member asked a question 💭

Just curious how many people have had to have surgery because of AS? Whether fusions, ablations and so on.

I have had 3, I have an Anterior/Posterior L4-L5 fusion with Spinous plating. I had a full disc replacement of my C6-C7 with a Mobi-C device and I have a lumbar Spinal cord stimulator. Honestly though if I could do it all over again personally I would not have had them. My progression is rapid and I am in way more pain since surgery then before it.

Thank you for the responses. It just seems to be one thing after another, doesn’t it?
