@lilypaws cute granddaughter! Are you taking nothing since your fusion? I am 7 1/2 months out from my fusion and still take ibuprofen during the day. The pain receding seems to be taking so long sometimes I wonder if the surgery was a success. The surgeon assures me it was.

My primary doctor put me on tramadol, but my surgeon didn't want me on anything like that, but my primary care didn't know why so her put me on is. I only take it at night, put I still have struggle getting to sleep. Once I get to sleep I sleep well. I am 3 months plus since my fusion. I also had stenosis L4 and 5. I try to walk one mile a day, but I don't always make it. I still have some pain, but mostly down low where my stenosis was fixed. Walking does help. Hope you are better soon. Soon
