If not, you should be referred to therapy.

At physical therapy, they will give you exercises that you can do for your particular problem, taking into consideration that you had fusion. They won't push you too hard because they don't want to damage the surgery site. But the exercises will help you strengthen your arms and legs so you're not so weak. Ask your doctor for a referral to physical therapy ~ if they have a pooll, that would be ideal therapy too.

I wish you the very best of luck. Chronic pain sure is difficult. God bless. Hugs, Lee
