L5&s1 fusion 10/10/13. how soon can i have an mri?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually 6 wks after: Usually you can have an MRI 6 weeks after your surgery, provided that all the devices are MRI safe. Typically with fusion, all the implanted hardware is MRI safe. If you have an epidural pain pump, that is another story and should be discussed with your doctor.
