Yes, I’m 19 months post major spine surgery with two surgeries for SCI implant and removal in between. I’m just now starting to feel a little better: more mobile, less pain. Give yourself more time, say a year or two. I’m so sorry. I know it’s frustrating, but have hope and don’t give up yet. I don’t know how old you are ( I’m nearly 74) but with age, things take a lot longer to heal. I send you my prayers for a better life soon and acceptance of your new normal, whenever that occurs. You’re not there yet.

@anniesezu812 Hello Annie, I had lumbar spinal fusion back in November, so almost 5 months ago now. I agree with you that these doctors need to be realistic about expectations, because my recovery is not going well. My surgeon blew off Physical Therapy when I asked him about it BEFORE surgery. He said I would be up and around in 2 weeks, and then I would be fine after moving around on my own. Unfortunately, after the surgery I have found every other spine surgeon has PT set up for their patients, as well as follow-up care. I have neither of these and have been on my own since the surgery in November.
