I had spinal fusionon my lumbar.
As far as what I had, I used a walker about 8 weeks then switched to a cane.
As far as pain, I had 4 months of pure hell.
All that being said, I would check with your surgeon.

Oh my goodness! I’m having fusion surgery this Wednesday on L-3 L-4 and L-4 to L-5. I have been having pain for about three years and I’m on Oxy. I’m able to walk(with my walker or cane) about 15 minutes before my legs give out. I am so concerned about the surgery and how long I’ll need to recover.
Being summer, my husband is looking forward to fishing, hiking, boating and tent camping. I’m think “Oh my...Lord help me!” I’m not sure how I’ll get through it. Almost cancelled several times. HELP
