Hello @harvodavo and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Despite all you are going through, you certainly have a commendable attitude!
You will notice that I have moved your post into an existing discussion on a similar topic that you can find here: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/spinal-fusion-2/
I did this so you may more easily connect with others who have shared about spinal fusions like @derreckw @collierga and @jenniferhunter.
When is the last and next follow up appointments with your neurosurgeon? Did he/she mention how long you might expect to experience this level of pain upon discharge?

Thank=
you so much Amanda. I do appreciate your thoughtfulness in moving my post =
into an existing group. I had surgery on June 16; follow-up with neurosurge=
on on July 8; started PT on July 13; cancelled a few PT sessions due to ext=
reme dizziness (diagnosed as Vertigo); PT sessions now focused entirely on =
Vertigo August 4; next appointment with neurosurgeon is not scheduled yet. =
When we saw him on July 8, he said it is customary to experience some conti=
nuance of pain in the shoulders post surgery, but did not go into details. =
