Return to running after spinal fusion
Hi all! I am having my spinal fusion surgery (T3-L3) in about 4 weeks time for 85 degree scoliosis. Currently I run about 50km/week and I am keen to get back to this as soon as I safely can post-op. I was just wondering what other people's experiences have been with this?
1- When did you feel physically able to start jogging without too much pain?
2- When did your surgeon/PT clear you to start jogging?
3- When were you able to build back to your previous mileage?
Of course I will stick with the advice that my surgeon gives me, but just looking for a rough estimate of what I might expect.
Thanks! :)
