Spinal Lumbar Fusion Recovery | HydroWorx Pool Protocol

[@jacobcowan6024]

Very helpful thank you I am 7 weeks post op spinal fusion l4-l5

[@sherriwatts8036]

I am at 5 weeks post op fusion L5-S1. I only have a cold indoor pool available and hot tub. I am going to try some of these in the hot tub tonight I am hoping some of this will work as I cannot afford co pays for my aquatic PT. Fingers crossed!

I'm 8 weeks post op Spinal Fusion L5-S1---feel great---I stood up in place today at a get together for 3 straight hours--unaware I had done this---before surgery I couldnt stand 10 minutes without having to sit down. Does Medicare cover this Hydro PT? Would like to try it when I'm cleared for PT--which will be 12th week.

How is she doing now?

[@KBradAdams]

I want to know what type of pain someone should feel 3 months post spinal fusion L4/L5. I feel like I did week 2... which was not bad but anytime I reach for something like a door handle or bend slightly forward even 2 inches or to the side 2 inches I get pain in the spine? Wondering is this normal should I try and work through it or is something wrong?

[@jacobcowan6024]

Definitely following this I am same here currently, how are you getting on and hope progression is speedy!

[@KBradAdams]

@@jacobcowan6024 I am a year post L4/L5 Fusion and not any better than I was after a month or so... I am going back soon to see if I need fusion L5/S1. I think that disc was bad even 4 years ago but was never addressed. I guess my back feels strong but there is something that is still causing it to ache and hurt in certain positions, I don't believe that is going to heal from PT as I have tried everything from light PT, moderate to nothing and find no difference.

I had L4 s1 done three years ago, and this past November I had have surgery again as a screw has right and was moving and eat my bone. I was in pain for two years

[@KBradAdams]

What I have found now is my fusion did not fuse not enough bone formed causing my pain so probably looking at revision for original L4/L5! Hopefully end of April

[@Christines_World1966]

@@KBradAdams wish you good health. I'm still in pain sitting to long. And gained weight

[@HRTsAFyre]

are these exercises good to do prior to spinal surgery as well?

[@HydroWorx]

HRTsAFyre it is best to speak with a doctor regarding your specific situation. Often times aquatic therapy can be used prior to surgery to help strengthen muscles, but we do not have specific pre-surgery protocols for spinal surgery in our case study library.

[@HRTsAFyre]

HydroWorx International Inc. thank you I have had spinal surgery before but need more done. I see my surgeon next month. I will ask him. I have a pool and would like to build up strength prior to undergoing surgery.
