Had Spinal Fusion On Two Vertebrae. Depressed Due To Stiffness, Soreness, Limited Movements. Suggestions?

Thankyou . I had spinal fusion on two vertabrae four month ago ,Initally I was really great practically no pain or soreness. Now this has changed & I find I am quite depressed because I am so stiff & sore with limited movement to a slight degree . I walk three miles about three times aweek . Is it normal to get bad after being really good ?

Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
It is not usual to get worse after initial improvement. So, I am sure you would improve soon.
The improvement could occur with good physiotherapy, and spine extension exercises.
Please get back if you require any additional information.

Best wishes,
