What Is The Recovery Time From The Back Surgery With Inserting Rod From L1 Through L-11 ?

It has been suggested that I have back surgery, inserting a rod from L-1 thru L-11, At this point in my life, with the severe pain, inability to do much around the house or anything enjoyable outside of my home, I wonder if the is the route I should take and what kind of recovery time I might be looking at if I go ahead with the surgery?

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case.

You may need to do MRI spine again to see for nerve compression
It may take 3 months time for complete rehabilitation after surgery.
It also depends on type of surgery and pattern of operation.
You should consult with your operating surgeon before going for surgery.

You can consult physiotherapist for help.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and TENS therapy will help
I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
