Lumbar Spinal Fusion, Post-Op. Should I have these symptoms?

No, it doesn’t. I am so sorry for the pain you’re having. They warned me I could end up worse after surgery, so it is possible that there is nothing they can do to improve your condition. If that is so, I wish they can explain to you why that is the case.
I know I’m struggling with the realization of possibly not getting any better, but I do have hope that each year I will be stronger. I pray your pain lessens over time, or you find a doctor who can help you. Don’t give up!

@ga29 I’m definitely not giving up Gods brought me this far, I’ll go to every doctor until I find one that will help! I knew there was risks but the surgeon could have said there’s a pinched nerve at L3 or the pseudo arthrosis and I think you should see a different doctor instead of leaving you in the dark. 28 years as a pipefitter making good money is just frustrating when when you can’t work and struggle if he’s just ignoring me.
