Hi, everyone. I am starting to get very concerned about how difficult it is for me to walk. I am 13 weeks post op. I usually start out pretty well. Then when I get busier I start leaning forward when I walk and CONSTANTLY have to force myself up straight. This causes significant tightness in my shoulders. I also tend to walk swaying side to side at times while sticking my l foot out to the side. HAS ANYONE EVER BEEN THROUGH THIS AND WILL IT EVER GET BETTER WITHOUT FURTHER SURGERY! Please tell me I need to know this. I am starting to get extremely concerned and I believe my Dr was too when I saw him 2 weeks ago. He ordered me more therapy and suggested stretches and exercises. He said he wants to see me in 3 months when he would normally wait 6 months. Do you all think I should be concerned that I have a sagital imbalance? Or is it too soon in my recovery an I need to be more patient? I am fused T2-L5. Please, please let me know if you have experienced this and have improved. I otherwise feel very well and can accomplish anything I want to. However, I do not want to be stuck with this handicap the rest of my life. I am a young lady and should not walk like I am 80! Thank you for any input. I need a lot. Thank you!!!!!
