I am so sorry that you are in such pain. You have been through so much in the last couple of years, and now having to have spinal fusion surgery -- and to have to heal in both front and back -- is so much to deal with. I wish I could send you a hug and some more pain medicine.
Hang in there -- you had major, major surgery and it can take new moms two weeks to just start healing from a C-section. I am hoping that as the abdominal muscles start to heal, your pain will start to retreat.
I have a question for you -- what exactly was the point of the spinal fusion? Was it to take care of the slightly herniated/prolapsed disc you wrote about before?
You may have found this web site on your own, but I wanted to point it out to you. It's about postop care for spinal fusion patients and what they can expect in terms of recovery:

Do you have a post-op appointment scheduled with your doctor?
