    I had fusion at L4/L5 16 months ago. I was in the gym lifting light weights in 8 weeks. The only time my back bothers me is when I don't exercise. I am so sorry to hear of your plight. How about a second, or third opinion? I'm 57, so I didn't spring back because I'm a young chicken. I believe I had an excellent surgeon!
