How long recovery continues post-T6 to T 11 surgery to remove fistula?

Thank you for your thoughtful response. Yes I have had MRIs post surgery and I was told that my spinal cord showed steady recovery. (but that is not what I have experienced yet.)
Three neurosurgeons at Johns Hopkins performed the surgery.

You may want to get other opinions by orthopedic surgeons outside John Hopkins. You may also want to see if you could get testing of spinal cord and nerves/nerve roots (like a myelogram) and brachial cuffs on wrist and ankle to test blood flow by a neurologist and/or vein specialist. MRI alone may not show the full picture of spinal cord/nerve health and healing.
