A member asked:
After surgery on each side just above my hips in the thoracolumbar fascia is it normal for my glutes to be so tight and erector spinaes...............
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Post-spine surgery: It is part of recovery from thoracolumbar surgery. Anti-gravity paraspinal and hip girdle muscle spasm is common, though painful. Physical therapy to rehab those tight muscles is necessary and often sufficient to address this; sometimes pain meds and/or muscle relaxants are needed add-one to get better yield. Good luck!
