You may notice that as times goes on, you are able to sit a little longer & walk a little further. At 1 month out from my fusion I was still in pain & had to lay down a lot throughout the...

The only other procedure I had to rule anything out was SI Joint injections. I had these because I was EXTREMELY sensitive when the OS & Pain Mgmt. docs pressed on my SI Joints. I even swung around &...
