I know a lot of middle-aged/older peopole with A/P fusions go to rehab after surgery. I know it's recommended. My question is: what kind of physical therapy do you get in rehab? It seems that most surgeons don't let patients have actual physical therapy til 3 or more months after surgery, but aren't you getting it in rehab? Or are you just in rehab to get your meds stable and learn to get in and out of bed, etc.?
Boachie's scheduling nurse hesitated when I mentioned rehab to her. She said I'm on the "young" side (I'll be 52 next month!! ) for rehab and would have to demonstrate a real need for it after my surgery.
Thanks,
