I underwent spinal fusion on sept 5, 2011. T5-8. I was in a boating accident crushed t5-6 broke 3my ribs and collapsed lung. I am able to walk slowly and am wondering about recovery times. I know its a long process and do not want to rush it just looking for some possible feedback. I am also experiencing a lot of numbness all ovr my back. It has gotten worse since surgery and although its numb and tingling it is extremely painful to the touch. Anyone with knowledge on any of my issues i would greatly appreciate your input. Thanks.
