Ask surgeon: Surgical recovery varies due to level of repair, patient characteristics, age, pre op activity, etc. Direct this question to your surgeon, as there will be variations based on multiple factors, including surgeon preference. Especially in spine repair, it never hurts to have two or even three opinions. Good luck.
