What can I do physically 6 weeks post cervical fusion?
Had a single level C5-C6 fusion done from a premier spine surgeon at Cornell Weill. I am very lucky, I had known I had a herniated disc at the region for a while and was managing (barely) through minimally invasive procedures and pt. This doctor ordered a CT scan, unlike most, and identified a 4mm OPLL growing at both vertebrate causing severe spinal stenosis that had not been there a year prior.
Recovery has been slow but great. I’m mid 20s male non smoker. I’m very curious/anxious as to what I will be able to do once the neck brace comes off. I’m concerned knowing myself that I may be a little too aggressive and eager. Obviously, I understand that anything I can do is barring the approval of my surgeon and whatever pt he refers me too, but curious as to what others have gone thru as well as if anyone has any recommended questions I should ask my surgeon on my imaging follow up in a couple of days. Thanks!
