I had spinal fusion surgery on my L4/L5 exactly months ago. Just a quick update. I am doing just fine. I have absolutely no pain, unless I have pushed my limits, and while I still restrict my bending and lifting, I can do most everyday stuff pretty much fine.
I work out every day, including some light weights – mostly for upper body and core strengthening, and also a few sets of movements, again to add core strength and improve my back muscles. I have no back pain, no tingling, no remaining issues that pushed me to have the surgery.
My specialist neurosurgeon Dr Choi at Wooridul Spine Centre here in Dubai has discussed the results of the CT scan and xray reports to see if I was actually on the mend – and that the spinal fusion surgery had worked. This was a couple of months ago – and he said I was improving beyond expectations.
Overall, for anyone considering TLIF surgery, or considering surgery at Wooridul in Dubai – go for it. It worked for me. All the best...
