@heavens12 Hi Catherine, I am scheduled for a T11 to L4 fusion next Wednesday at the Phoenix Mayo Clinic. I have a very small idea of what to expect based on what I have read from others’ experiences. I plan to journal my experience and recovery with the hope that it will help someone else.
Prayers for your continued recovery and more mobility. I have yet to find a physical therapist who is experienced at post spinal fusion surgery but I am going to keep at it until I find one. I know this is critical for the healing process. Are you doing physical therapy regularly?

Hi Catherine,

After having a 3 level fusion back in 1991, and ending up with having to have a pain pump implanted to help control severe back pain. Am now scheduling back surgery, T12 to S1 fusion. The pain and lost of all activities has made my choice easy. Prayers and positive thoughts
