Thank you for your response. After reading other people’s responses, I’m looking into getting a second opinion, just to be safe. However, your last sentence is what my current doctor said I’d need to do after surgery ~~ he said, “you’ll need to walk like crazy!” Makes sense.

Had my three laminectomies and two disc replacements May 9th. I started to walk "like mad" feel good doing and afterwards as well. Have been on Tylenol for lower back achiness. Sleep exceptionally well especially on my back. Rented ($160/mo) electrical hospital bed. Very helpful in various positions to sleep, to rest, and to read. I bought some 8" offroad walker wheels and skids. Live in rural area. These make walking around ar fast pace easy. Feel great after walking.
My surgery and recovery is amazing.
