After spine fusion you can expect pain, but it is generally well tolerated with pain medications. Surgical back pain goes away with time. If you had leg pain, numbness, or weakness before surgery it may be better immediately after surgery, it may take weeks to months to get better, or there may be no change. Each patient's condition is different, and nerves do not always heal even if the problem is corrected. |
