Guest guest Posted June 29, 2010 Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 I know that there are members here who have had spinal fusions of the Lumbar region and sacral region. I am having S-1 through L-4 fused and a laminectomy done at L-5 on the left side again. I don't know if they will try to repair the bulging discs at L-3 through 4. My question is this how long did it take for you to recover to where you felt like a normal human being again? Now I know that for some of you the surgery made you worse I'd like to hear your stories too. Also some one in one of my pain groups mentioned that either they or a relative had epidurals after the surgery for the first 3 days. What type of epidural was it, the type that totally paralyses and numbs you from the waist downward or the local type that simply numbs you in a specific region? I look forward to everyone's posts.
