hi,

thank-you for providing the brief history of you.

As you had spinal fusion and facing the pain again, there will be a weakness of this muscles which are not able to stabilize the spine. Also, post spinal fusion one needs to undergo a complete spinal rehabilitation as to safe guard the spine from future injuries.

In my clinical practice , majority of patients with degenerative disc disease are treated with physical therapy and responds well. We do even get post surgical and we find alot of them facing with muscle weakness and lack of spine stability.

Recommending again the physical therapy rehabilitation of the spine will help them regain the normal functions and also make them away from future surgery.
