    Whats up TH-cam!?!? This is the second video of many videos documenting my experiences surrounding a Spinal Fusion Surgery. I had my L4-L5 fused and the L5-S1 decompressed and cleaned up. I hope you enjoy the raw emotion of the videos because I'm trying to be as real as possible. Yes, the videos are a little bit amateur but I am making these to get the information out to those who need it.
    Here is a link to my next video: Overcoming the Challenges: Road to Recovery After Spinal Fusion

    Thanks for watching.
    Send questions to Fuzed24@yahoo.com and I will answer your questions during a Q and A video.
    Appreciate your support!!!

    Thank you for your videos... watching everyone's progress has been eye opening . I had my surgery on August 2, 2023. L4-L5 anterior and posterior lumbar decompression and fusion implants allografts.
    I feel a bit lost and confused...but pain free. I stopped using pain meds, and walker on my 3rd day. I feel well overall, but my stomach feels strange...wish I could start cycling today.
    Keep us posted.

    I love your videos...they're so insightful and are helping me get through my recovery of having a double fusion with 2 disc replacements...I did over an hour of walking today and I'm paying for it now with soreness but it's tolerable so I'm ok with it...but most of my struggles are in bed...I can't lay flat because the incision area is still tender and trying to maneuver on either side is just painful...even getting out of bed is still challenging...I'm hoping in my case week 3 might be a turn for the better the way it was for you...sorry to ramble on...just wanted to say thanks for your videos and I appreciate your honesty.

    Great videos! I just watch a bunch of them. I'm 2 1/2 weeks post-op l4-5 fusion and feel great. Quick question were you wearing a back brace on your walks and was there a time when you stopped wearing one. The brace I have seams to be causing more pain when I wear it then when I don't. I'm currently living in Cambodia where I had the surgery and was lucky to find a good surgery. I'm walking about 2-3 miles a day now. Thanks again for the great content!
