Hey everyone!
I'm nearly 6 months post op. I feel like I'm doing ok some days but still am having a lot of pain and issues. My doctor still has me restricted from bending and twisting, and no lifting over 10-15lbs. Mainly because my pain has increased lately and we aren't sure why. So he doesn't want to try anything new that will make the pain worse. Maybe I'm just frustrated because it seems like it's been forever and I still have so much pain.
On a side note I saw my surgeon about 2 weeks ago while my pain was really bad. He did x-rays and the fusion is looking good he says. Not totally fused but good. I guess if it looks so freaking good I don't get why the pain is getting worse for me.
What all were you able to do at 6 months and how did you feel? Any experience you can share will be so appreciated.
