I'm sorry you haven't felt much progress regarding your surgery. It is possible that there isn't full recovery but I would be grateful for 80 %.
I have a great surgeon with a wonderful nurse who is talking me through my concerns and worries so I'm very lucky in that regard. I see my surgeon on October 27th at which time he'll take an x-ray to see how things look. He's scheduled me for hydrotherapy beginning October 31st.
I hope you can get some relief and perhaps develop a relationship with your doctor.

Hi. I had laminectomy and l4 To s1 fusion and unfortunately both failed. They tried everything, water therapy to try to get better range, and it worked but as soon as you walk out of the pool and your weight comes back down on your body it was like a ton of bricks. So my advice is just take it ready coming out of the pool. And hope it works better for you
