Healing time for L4 L5 spinal fusion?
I had a C4 to C6 fusion. My bones accepted my donor's bones well and my cervical spine fused properly to the donor graft. It took 8 weeks before I could return to University. I got my neck brace off at about 8 weeks, but I didn't feel completely better for at least another 10 weeks. Sooo, I personally returned to life after about 2 months. I do not know if this is an average time, but if your body accepts the grafts you will be on your feet soon enough. Do as the doctor says, do not fool around and you will get your life back in time. All patients react to surgery and to rehab differently. You need to allow 6 months to 1 year for complete recovery so that you won't be tempted to rush and try to force your body to heal.
