I'm just 3 months post-op (fused T-9 to sacrum w/ pelvic anchors). Is it possible to be walking too much? I'm currently averaging about 3 miles a day at a 14 minute/mile pace. I notice that I have muscle soreness around my right shoulder blade sometimes after I walk. Other than this, I feel relatively good. Very bearable discomfort although I definitely have freaky nerve pain in one thigh and that lying on a metal plate feeling when I lay down.
My fear is that I'm doing too much - I sneak in gardening and housework whenever I can. I do a lot of squatting with my knees (never bending from the waist) but I guess I fear that I'm not doing as good as I feel. I've been reading members' posts about the need for revision surgery and it's making me second guess my own recovery.
Am I over thinking my post-op life or am I doing too much too soon?
