What kind of back surgery are you having? Husband has had two spinal fusions, most recent with rods and screws inserted in spine a year ago. Now he is going back under knife to have them removed due to the extreme pain of the rods on his spine.

It took 6mos with his spinal fusion to heal and recover. He was in a back brace for 5mos...

Hi Kelly, I'm new here too. I do not know my way around or even if I'm replying where I should. I have had four back surgeries, including one with and 8 hole titanium cage. All the surgeries have involved my spine. If there is something specific you are wondering about I'll be glad to let you know of my experience. One thing this site has shown me already is that we are not alone!
