Spine lumbar fusion surgery. Anyone else?

@backincontrol -I am 19 days post-op of L3/4 PLIF surgery. I am a 67 year old woman and I have always worked out and taken good care of my body.
Thank you for your post. I found it very encouraging!
I too suffer nerve pain post op and haven't been sleeping well. I also had a spondylothesis at L3.
I am praying the nerve pain will calm down and I can start walking more without pain. I find myself 2nd guessing about doing this surgery but I was told that my nerves were severely compressed and eventually I would end up in a wheelchair.
I know patience and time are what is required to get through this long recovery process.
Your idea of Journaling is a good one!
And yes, "I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me."

@wywomanjk Just a heads up: someone in the spinal surgery notes had suggested HIKE shoes, which are basically no shoes. I made the mistake of ordering few pair. They have an impossible return policy. First, you hit the link and it goes to a page that is not working. Then you try to input their email and write them and they never respond although they continue to send you emails wanting to sell you more. Plus they only give you 30 days to initiate a return. Not sure what to do but maybe these shoes helped some people. They did not help me and their business practices are less than above-board. Buyer beware!
