Hello,
I had my surgery 3 months ago and am generally doing well. My 3 month visit was quiet good and my spine seems to be fusing ok. Pain is also under control. I had been wearing a brace post surgery probably because I had about 4 pedicles missing on the left side (congenital) and no screws there, so I guess my surgeon was being cautious. I am off brace for the last one week and my back feels very heavy as if it is trying to pull me down. I suspect that this is probably due to muscle weakness. Did anyone else experience this kind of heaviness? If so did it go away? Did you do anything special for it?
thanks,
