I agree that improvement is difficult to measure - it seems so incremental and maybe it is. My biggest concern is that every time I move I'm afraid I've broken something. Just did it a minute ago and I imagined feeling metal moving. And I'm with you on the chronic pain thing. It's hard and I don't think anybody would disagree with that.

Yes I also agree on being afraid that I have broken something and that includes my other vertebrae since now I am anxious about adjacent segment disease befalling me. I do feel like my spine is now in sections above and below the fusion and this has added stress to my spine such that it is no longer normal and flexible as it was. This is too much spine stress and too little attention to that problem by the surgeon.
