In this bit5 moments
  • Luigi disappeared for three or four months before being found in a Hawaii commune with a group that accepted anyone with love in their heart.
  • His back problem severely disrupted his life, involving surgery with fusion screws in his low back.
  • Fusing discs in a young, active person creates unusual leverage on the disc above, forcing the spine to compensate in ways it wasn't designed to.
  • The low back is a common place to get injured, but many people considering back surgery have found alternative healing methods without fusion.
  • People who are bone on bone make the best candidates for articulating titanium disc replacements after suffering long-term pain.
