Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (PLIF) and Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion (TLIF)

[@aquariuswithfire]

I just had the T-LIF done. Feels great so far after months of foraminal stenosis. I found this video super informative and will let me engage with my surgeon during our post-op follow up in a much more constructive way. Thank you for posting this.

How are you now? I am looking at a 3 level fusion

@@barkingspider2973 After physical therapy I am actually much more flexible than I was when I 'thought' I was healthy - before the problems. I believe that the right physical therapist post-op is as important as the skill of the surgeon. In short I am doing great!

@@aquariuswithfire That’s great! I’m very happy that you’re feeling good after surgery. Gives me a bit of hope that this fusion will not be the end of my mobility! I know PT is very important. Thanks for your feedback

Gracias. Me ayuda y me motiva en este momento que estoy desesperado por las hernias discales l4l5s1 y no me decido por hacer el TLIF...
