Depends on the type of fusion and how much is involved. My mother had 12" of steel rod put in her back and 16 screws--that was 2 yrs ago last November and she sometimes wishes she never had it done. She still walks with a cane and is in lots of pain, now they are talking hip replacement and she wants nothing to do with more surgery.

Your friend may need lots of help for a while.
