  • Can you feel a titanium rod from a fusion?

    I am getting a fusion in my L5-S1 tomorrow and I have had two other back surgeries before. I am wondering how this will compare to the other surgeries I have had and the pain I will have after wards.

    I have heard that if it is cold out, that you can feel the coldness in the rod. Is this true?

    I am not worried about the actually surgery, but rather the recovery compered to the previous laminectomy and discetomy I have had.
