I’m working with a spine surgeon to set up a fusion. I can go into what’s wrong and what my symptoms and pain have been, but the bottom line is I’m looking at around a ten level fusion, starting at L5-S1 and going up from there. Has anyone had this degree of fusion, gotten back into the gym, and had anything close to the performance and more importantly to me, the ability to build a physique close to what they had. I’ve been struggling with the back issues, and put off surgery for years, so I’ve already lost a lot of strength and muscle, not to mention symmetry, so I know I’ll never be the same. Anyone’s experiences and tips or info no one told you about the surgery or limitations you would have is greatly appreciated.
