Hi guys great site. I recently just had spinal fusion from L4 to S1 about 4 weeks ago. My question is what should I expect. It seemed everything was going pretty well. Yes ofcourse I did experience pain but the past week it has gotten much worse. I have been doing more things such as driving for ex. My pain seems to come and go-at times I have no pain then at times I have pain in which meds don't do alot. It seems two steps forward one gaint step back. Is this common? I realize it's only been 4 weeks. What did you guys experience post opt-did you guys have many good days and bad days combined? Also, it seems my pain is worse early in the morning and late at night. Can anybody relate??? Thx and better health for all of us.
