I've posted here now several times. I'm 4 weeks out from an l5/s1 open back fusion with instrumentation. I'm interested in talking to other kindred fusion spirits, to hear their journey and how they healed and the stages it took. I'm still in pain but push thru it and walk everyday. Plz sumone, it would be so nice to have sumone to talk to who's walked my path. Greatest blessings to u:)

Thank you, for your kind words. I don’t think I’m an inspiration, I’m just a guy out here trying to make sense of all this. Struggle makes use strong, right. I know things will get better for me one day and for you too. At least I can function somewhat, there’s a lot of people out there that are in a lot worse shape than me.

I’m sorry you’ve been hurting worse, only walk as much as you feel, don’t force yourself. Have you tried taking a little more medication? You did say you’re going to see the Doctor this week, right? See what he says. Didn’t I read on here somewhere, that you had a couple of boys? Tell them to get out there and get the yard cleaned up. And you don’t have to thank me for the conversation, I enjoy it, I get something out of it too.

Hope you feel better

For sum reason, it won't allow me to click on "get more results". Can a post only have just so many comments? I can't get to the end to see new comments:(

Sorry to hear about your pain, it takes along time to recover. You should be getting a little bit stronger every day. Hope you have help around the house, so you don't have do too much, I don't think I could walk a mile if I tried. I'm too lazy, actually its not that, I'm on my feet all day at work, so it kinda wears me out. We have a pretty big yard too and lately I've been trying to get it cleaned up for spring, its a pretty big job and I hurt from that too, but not too bad. I can rest tomorrow or today or whatever it is now.

I see you posting calming all these people down about their up coming surgeries and stuff. Its good therapy, when you help someone else, you help yourself. I wish I would have found this site before I had my neck surgery. Those Doctors made me feel like I was the only one in the world that didn't get better after surgery. When I came here and saw all the people that had the same pain problems I did, I think it brought a tear to my eye.

Take Care
