I had a spinal fusion done 14 days ago today the operation took a total of five hours with an additional two and half hours of recovery, I would like to ask has anyone had this done and what was your recovery time, each day I`m getting stronger. I did lose the use of my leg or it was`nt as it was prior to my operation although it is coming back now and I can walk fairly well considering a week ago I could`nt move it.
Thanks.

One of our friends had this done a few years ago. She was in terrible pain for many years before she had the op' and although she can't turn her head at all, she is now completely pain free. It took her approx' 3 months to get to what she now calls "normal".
