I do get the weight sensation, but noticed that reinforcing the muscles in a mild way like swimming, light weight lifting and stretching helps. The first two years after surgery were the worst, and back then I didn't know it was normal and result of the fusion taking place, since the doctors told me that recovery was supposed to take three months... I have a LOT of patience and all I want is for people to be frank with me and tell me what I have and if/when it will go away, what to do to help the pain, etc.
As for burning and sharp pain, I have that too mostly in the shoulders and arms, and occasionnally the sciatica. Those are nerves pinching and acupuncture does help. I never went back to my chiro after the surgeries, he told me not to and am too scared that he would misplace hardware. The pain is always worse has the day goes by and the more I do.
