Hi, I had posterior surgery in Feb. 2007. I am fused down to L4. I've had a recent check-up and my surgeon told me that I am doing good.
I am still experiencing a lot of back and rib pain. I still have a lot of numbness in my back and legs. I know, I need to give my nerves time to heal and wake up, but some nights I have trouble sleeping and some mornings I don't even want to get out of bed! After surgery, I wasn't able to do rehab due to not having health insurance. My surgeon has advised me to continue to exercise/swim to gain more strength in my back muscles.
Any advice or suggestions?
I appreciate it so much!
