25% of my spine...

Is to be fused on Weds the 13th. Fusing T-3 thru T-11, which is also 75% of my thoracic spine. Not looking forward to the procedure, but I have high hopes for the long term prognosis.

Anyone have any experience with fusion? I'm looking for tips, wisdom or general heads up as I try to prepare for this mentally and physically.

Unfortunately, this crap will likely keep my from my annual journey to Spartanburg for TC- provided a CBA is done in time, which is my biggest regret at this time.

Prayers are also welcome.

look to find a very knowledgeable massage therapist.. I expect if you're anything like my dad, you're back will need adjusted from time to time.. maybe even every week in the beginning..

do yourself a favor and never pick up anything heavy (or over 15lbs) again..

Damn. Sorry to hear that. I had to decide between fusion and lots of physical therapy plus an obtrusive back brace for six months after having compression fractures to T3-T8 ranging between 25% and 40%. I chose the brace. I'm not sure how that's going to work out for me in the long-term. I hope your recovery is as quick and painless as possible. If you don't have a Netflix subscription, get one now!

      Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.

      This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.

      Guessing the price is too rich here given the injury history.  2024 was brutal and production dropped off in 2025 with a few more injuries (albeit rough qb play).    Don’t really understand the narrative that Young can’t benefit from talented upgrades on offense. Especially here with respect to a tight end. Any QB will benefit from talented receivers that threaten the top of coverage and tight ends with skills to stress zone.    The age and injury history, coupled with what he’s likely asking, just probably means we can better spend that money elsewhere.
