What to do if i have spinal fusion surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Go slow: Avoid lifting over 10 lbs, or excessive bending or twisting. Where was the location of the operation? lumbar or cervical spine? (lower back or neck?) walking is usually good. Ask your surgeon to be sure. Would continue to use a brace.
