I had l4 through S1 spinal fusion surgery 5 months ago and still in pain. Is there anyone else who experience pain that long after surgery? Is it normal ?

Yes, I had a spinal fusion in 2019 after a cancerous tumor fractured my spine. T12 to c2. I still have chronic back pain. Take your time and try physical therapy when your doctor allows it. I started walking outside as soon as the doctor let me. I feel as if I can't keep my posture erect. It is a slow healing process and everyone will heal differently.
Good luck.
