[QUOTE="highplains, post: 1308700, member: 46399"] I am a spine surgeon. For the most part, I agree with all the above information. The most important thing is to remember that your ultimate recovery will be lengthy, and there is no short cuts. "No pain, no gain" really does not apply to recovering from a spinal fusion. Its best to approach rehab in phases. First, restore/maintain flexibility. Second, restore core strength. Third, restore endurance/strength. Depending upon a person's pre-op condition, the first 2 phases may take 6 months alone. The better condition you are prior to surgery, the faster your recovery will be. Restoring endurance and strength required for backpack hunting will take several more months. Remember, the healing of a spinal fusion takes at least 3 months, and there is no way to speed the process up. However, once healed and rehabbed you should be good to go. [/QUOTE]
