I had a spinal fusion done by Dr. Gorecki July of 2014 to relieve severe pain in my lower lumbar due to disk degeneration, spinal stenosis and sciatica. After trying several injections to relieve the pain through a pain specialist, it was determined that surgery would be the best option. After the surgery and months of physical therapy to regain my mobility, I can say the surgery was a success. I do not experience the severe pain I lived with a year ago, thanks to Dr. Gorecki.
