Rise,
I'm not even sure if I noticed hair on my legs at 3 weeks and I have dark hair and shave my legs daily! I attached a long plastic handle to throw away razors and used it for probably 6 months. I also needed tongs for toilet paper for a long time. My, oh, my . . . it gets so much better!!!! I would recommend not attempting to stretch to put on lotion or shave your legs. I obeyed the no bending, no twisting, no lifting restrictions for over four months. It's such a small sacrifice for the long term benefit of fusing. Many of us noticed improvements in flexibility even after two years. Just try to be patient now and remember that it is really early in your recovery.
