Lower back pain four months from laminectomy and L4/5 fusion.

Posted by downhillmarg @downhillmarg, 2 hours ago

I am having, at times, severe lower back pain four months after a laminectomy and L4/5 fusion. I try to stretch, which does help, but it is sometimes hard to move without any pain. I am in PT and am looking at a trainer to help with strengthening core. Anyone have some suggestions? Anyone had this problem after surgery?

What does your surgeon have to say?

I have severe L4/5 spinal stenosis but have avoided surgery by learning the Gokhale Primal Posture method. Perhaps learning new posture techniques would still help reduce pain?
