After lumbar fusion and fixation surgery, it is recommended to recuperate for 1 year, improve the lumbar spine X-ray and other examinations, and work only after a professional doctor’s evaluation, but not to carry out overloaded physical labor. If you do not go through a professional doctor’s evaluation of whether or not you can carry out physical labor in advance, unauthorized heavy physical labor may lead to lumbar fusion and fixation of the vertebral body to destabilize, or even slipping out of the vertebral body. The use of lumbar fusion surgery is usually only considered for severe lumbar disc herniation. This is because the vertebral fusion after lumbar fusion fixation requires a longer healing time. Usually it takes one month after lumbar fusion fixation for the fused vertebrae to stabilize and be able to take care of themselves, and about two months for the fusion to gradually stabilize and allow for some non-weight bearing work. It takes at least half a year, or even longer, for the fusion site to heal completely. When the vertebral bones are completely healed and the vertebral body is firmly in place, it is possible to engage in some light physical work, but not heavy physical work as normal people do. If you experience any discomfort after lumbar spine fusion surgery, please consult a doctor promptly.
