RB,
Thank you for your guidance and insights.
I will be undergoing a similar surgery--L2 to my sacrum, along with bi-lateral sacroilliac joint fusions, on May 13th and May 14th. ( 48 years ago fused from T2 to L2 --idiopathic scoliosis).

You mentioned your current treatment plan--meds., ice, heat, etc. 3 years out, I am wondering whether you apply or take from your "toolbox" frequently or whether it is on occasion?
May you have continued improvement.🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for anything you might share.
Nadine

Hi Nadine, first, sending good May13-14 karma your way (!) & 👍🏻, you have my admiration/respect on living a long time with a very extensive spine fusion. Regarding my “coping toolbox”, walking is every day except weather, stretching is 5-6 days/week, all others are alternated in & out daily. Back stiffness with aches & creakiness is most always manageable. Pain is from neuropathy in feet & sciatica down legs. Some days are just better than others so I keep expectations at being upright, moving & breathing 😊 everything above that is the icing on my cake. Again, all the best to you, rb
