Currently I am recovering from spinal fusion back surgery which was March 18th. I am trying like crazy to follow Dr restrictions on what I should and should not be doing. Lifting no more than fifteen pounds, is difficult as I want to hold my grandbabies but have been following, bending however is proving very difficult. How do you retrain a 53 yr old brain to suddenly Not do things you have done your entire life? I have been warned that this is my final stop before a wheelchair which is a terrifying thought. Please pray for me, still quite a bit if pain but am improving quickly and nearly off the painkillers and back to my CBD and Ibuprofen 800mg and muscle relaxer only. Desperately wanting to quickly eliminate anything potentially addicting.

Please consider Curcumin. We discovered it when my husband was recommended back surgery for disc issues. This was part of a natural treatment plan for him that successfully avoided surgery.
"The present study demonstrated that additional treatment of curcumin and alendronate after spine fusion surgery in rat can promote higher fusion volume, and improve bone mechanical strength."

And magnesium is important too. You can buy magnesium oil, which is not an oil, and is a spray. Use this on fatty areas like rear and thighs to topically absorb mag and avoid stomach upset. Mag baths are another way but Im assuming there's no sitting in a bath after spinal surgery. Best of luck
Turmeric Curcurim is one of my regular supplements and I believe it helps.
Curcurmin
Curcumin, not curcurmin. ;)
Yeah, that, typo
