Hello Mary. Several questions. When was your fusion? Please describe your stiffness. Does it extent beyond level of fusion? Could you swing a golf club comfortably? Touch your toes?
I’d appreciate your reply and glad you have no pain. Bill

Hi Bill,
I had my spinal fusion (L5-S1) 23 years ago. I don't play golf so I can't explain how I feel on a swing. I do still play leisure tennis. The stiffness on my lower back was preventing me from kneeling all the way down. I have no problem touching my toes. Hope this helps.
