[Hooch]

Hi

I'm 4 months post op l5s1 fusion l4l5 adr.

I'm still having a lot of pain on activity. I do a lot of core work and physio but my spine still cant accept much load without generating strong pain. Can walk maybe 2-3km, swim a bit with a pull buoy.

I dunno, sometimes feels like my facets are going into too much extension and may be part of pain as they complain, so continuing to work on posture. Really really hope they are not part of the problem.

Otherwise fusion could just still be quite painful.

Has anyone had similar ops, fusion etc, can give me some feedback on how they found this longer term part of recovery?

I really have difficulty and like everyone just want to be free of this horrible stuff and well again, but I know that is not always realistic. I'm hoping it will continue to gradually improve over the months, bit by bit.

Thanks for any feedback,
Chris.
