Timeline, expectations on healing, quality of life after long fusion?

Posted by jackk @jksawyers, Jan 26 11:58pm

I would appreciate examples of timelines of what I can expect to be able to do after a long fusion - pelvic to T10 plus SI joint. Thank you in advance.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Spine Health Support Group.

I have my long fusion surgery scheduled and intend to go through with it (Pelvis to T2) - thank you for being here to share your story. I'm at the point where I am getting very nervous and my husband keeps reminding me that I can barely move now, so even if I have mobility decrease, I will no longer be suffering and I will still be able to do more than I can do now - even if I don't get to do everything I want to do. I wish you the best in your surgery and hopefully we can keep sharing our experiences here in the aftermath.
