Hello @efgh1020 - I thought I would reply to your private message in this discussion - Disk replacement & spinal fusion (L4-L5): Post-op concerns - so that you could meet @mikebr, @australia and other members with similar conditions. You mentioned in your private message that you had spinal fusion surgery of L3-L5 to relieve compression of the right femoral nerve caused by stenosis.

If I read correctly, you mentioned in your first post you were doing physical therapy exercises to maintain your mobility and were seeking information on a diagnosis so that your occupational therapists can provide a treatment plan. Is this correct?
