Lower back problems spinal fusion?

I have a birth defect that in my lower back that causes my last vertabrae to shift. I have been doing physical therapy for years but the problem is getting worse as I age. The doctor said I might have to have it fused. Has anyone out there had this done? Did it work? How miserable was it and how was the rehab?

Answer:
Two years ago i broke my lowerback/tailbone.anyway my last two vertabras fused...it doesnt really hurt unless you bend from your back for a while.anyway its not really noticable GOOD LUCK!
