L2 – S1 spinal fusion pain questions

Posted by drxtract @drxtract, Dec 18, 2024

I am three months postop from my lumbar fusion. I can’t walk more than 10 steps without pain into my left buttocks. This pain will increase to the point that I need to sit down which stops the pain almost immediately. Wondering if you folks have experienced similarities and how are you doing today?

I'm 3 months out and can't sit or walk or stand for any amount of time. I spend 99% of my time in bed with ice on my back. I've never been so miserable in my entire life!
