Is It Possible To Sever Spinal Canal At L3?
Question: In 2006, I had a posterior L5-S1 spinal fusion. Pain did not subside. I had both sides of the hardware removed. No relief still, but new MRI revealed a fracture in the L5-S1 fusion that was unable to be seen with the hardware still in. In 2010, I had spinal fusion redone via anterior/posterior procedure. No relief still. Had left hardware removed- no relief. In 2014, I was diagnosed with Arachnoiitis in the L4, L5, S1 region.

My question is "Is is possible to severe the spinal canal above the Arachnoiditis and still live a reasonable life without the pain?
