Dear leeleeb,
There is not enough information for me to answer that. Sorry.
Dr. Rosen
I had L4-L5-S1 fusion, how long does it take for fusion to completely fuse also, my recent MRI shows i have fluid collection to the vertebral bodies, what does that mean?
Dear Linda,
Usually 4-6 months. Unless I have more details about the fluid, I can’t say what it’s from.
