Had T4 Spine Fusion Still Cannot Get Out Of Bed. Take Pain Relief. Treatment?

I had a T4 spine fusion 8 weeks ago-I still cannot get out of bed or roll over with out pain-will it go soon?I take pain relief at night but not during the day. I rest alot, but am active around the house as I am on my own now and need to care for myself. I need a cane to get push to stand, and once up am pretty mobile.

Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
It is unfortunate that you have not made a good recovery yet. Sometimes, the recovery does get delayed.
I would request you to go for more aggressive physical therapy and pain relief, in discussion with your doctors.
This would ensure that you recover faster.
I hope it helps.

Please get back if you require any additional information.

Best wishes,
