I don't know about that. Alot of research stated closer to 90 days of physical therapy strengthening. I was walking everyday, an in my case I got electric shock and ruined my nerves, n muscle tissue further. But thanks for your reply.

I was told to walk every day after my fusion of l4-5. PT started after 90 days. As I had osteopenia them and osteoporosis now, I also was told to wear my brace for 90 days. This was in January 2021. I am now deciding if I want to fuse L5-S1, which I think was needed at the time. Be careful not to do damage to yourself by overdoing it too quickly.
