Guest guest Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 I always knew that my situation was unique and the pain was related to my fusion. I never had pain before surgery, but within one year afterwards, I already had started feeling the fatigue. I live on a small family farm in Pennsylvania and I distinctly remember bending over to weed the garden and having trouble straightening. So over the years I learned to use my legs a lot more than my back. It fact it has only been the last 2 years that I have lost some of the flexibility in my hips and legs. some stretching would probably help. I should resolve to do it everyday. > > Hi, welcome to the group.
