Hello JohnB,
I am always so impressed by how much information on their own spine everyone here has. I afraid to say even as an RN I know only 1/10 of what others here know about their spine. I just find it hard to get the info when the surgeon has his hand on the door to leave the room as soon as they walked in. I think some of it is if they don't believe it to be a problem it isn't mentioned. I need to get more assertive and stop just going away with the same info I walked in with.
Any way, I am almost 10 months post op. I know exactly what you are talking about with the bands. I think mine have actually improved in the past few months with the flexion. The extention for me actually feels so weird. It feels as if I am hitting something and I can't go very far. My surgeon justs says hmm, so I have no idea why. Flexion feels pretty good but only a few times or my back pain is bad. Keep posting as I am facinated by all your information.
