Friends & Colleagues,
I am preparing to undergo a fusion of L 3, 4, & 5, due to an injury incurred on the job awhile back. I would like to hear from others who have gone through this surgery and get their perspective on things like the recovery period, how long, how uncomfortable etc. Also, I imagine I will require some sort of orthosis to immobilize the site for sometime. I've gotten the physician's slant on things but they haven't gone through it personally. It's not something I'm looking forwd to but after nearly 4 years I'm just about over it!
Thanks for any information in advance.
Sincerely,
Joe Carideo CP (E)
