Hello @bl780349 and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I'm so pleased to hear that your surgery went so well. You must be pleased.
Will you have follow-up physical therapy in the future? If you are comfortable sharing more, could you share a bit of your history with the SI joint problem?

I had Spinal Fusion in 2013 and 2015 at Mayo in Jacksonville, Fl. I did well for many years. The fused sections became so painful on my hips. I’d read about Dr. Bydon doing some stem cell research so I decided to see if I was a candidate. I was not. Dr. Bydon did test and decided to remove my hardware. After surgery he told me all of the hardware used was too large for my size. I’m 5’3 and 135lbs.
I also had a fusion on my neck the next day after hardware removal. This was all done a couple of years ago. Dr. Bydon sent me to Dr. William Cross. I’d read his reviews and after many test I was definitely a candidate for surgery. January 21, 2022 surgery was performed bilateral.
Tomorrow marks three weeks.
Oh, prior to having this done Dr. Michael Tauton performed left hip replacement.
I live in Alabama and we drove for this surgery!
