4 Weeks Post Spinal Fusion Posted: 07-02-07 05:12am
Hi Folks,
My first posting to the board and just
wondering if anyone can help me please
just having a bad few days of it.
Had a double level fusion 4 weeks ago. I
have improved pain wise but I am limited
to the amount of time I can stay up. I
find sitting sore after 30 min and can now
walk for 20 min. ( I could not walk more
than 5 min prior to surgery). I feel in
ways for 4 weeks I seem to be doing good,
but my main concern is that I am still in
bed for a lot of time. I try to get up
after 90 min and stay up for 60 min doing
walking and sitting. My question is to
all those that have gone through this
procedure How were you at 4 weeks and were
you in the bed still? I feel I should be
up more and that is really freaking me.
