    Brother you don’t know how much you helped people like me with all your videos information! I’m 7 weeks post Alif L5 s1 fusion and the first 4 weeks were really bad pain! After that I’ve been feeling better every week but this week the numbness and tingling come back kind of scary feeling 😅 but looking at your videos it looks like it’s something normal!.

      There definitely is an ebb and flow with the pain. Hope yours goes away completely and quickly! Keep me posted.

      B Deal, I am at 7 months L4L5 fusion. I’m not a young person like Chris; but I will say for me physical activity has made a difference in my recovery. Of course I do what my surgeon and PT team recommend.

    This channel needs more subscribers! Alif L5-S1 next month pencilled in, seriously anxious. Nothing through the back, this apparently gives a better recovery time. Disc degeneration, annular tear, bulge, straightening lumbar spine. Hoping to get back to cycling and kayaking. I do think your case is a lot worse than mine. So hard to make the decision

      Good luck. It’s a rough surgery but so glad I got it done. I have been biking all over Chicago like crazy. No issues. Have yet to try a kayak. But I have paddleboarded. Some days are better than others but my activity tolerance keeps increasing. Godspeed to a smooth and fruitful recovery. Stay strong and stay well.

      Bionic Living thank you man appreciate it. I’m only have alif through the front with a spacer. They aren’t going through the back or putting rods in. It’s single level L5 S1

    Thanks for this content. I’m terrified of the next chapter (PLIF/ALIF L5/S1 scheduled in 1 month) What we’re your symptoms prior to surgery? I’m concerned this won’t even solve the original problem I’ve had over past 5 months (terrible pelvic area discomfort)

    • @bionic_living

      I had right drop foot. Inability to walk at times. Constant weakness, shooting pain, numbness all in my right leg. Back felt great! Lol. Good luck. How are you feeling now?

      @@bionic_living hi
      No didn’t get better it’s really stiff sometimes I sit and cry quietly. It has lots to do with my life style I guess I have 18month old baby and so much responsibility maybe that’s why . It was definitely hard experience and surgery
