Physical therapy absolutely does NOT do more harm than good. Physical exercise is an absolute must for those of us with fused spines limiting our mobility. Exercise helps to circulate fresh blood into injured areas, helping to heal and alleviate pain. That said, if you get a complete nincompoop of a pt, then maybe it will cause more harm than good, but they're supervised by a physical therapist that spent just about as much time in school as an actual physician does, so they know what they're doing.

Can I do regular stretches to for better flexibility? Spinal fusion surgery made my body rigid

[tinkerbella]

My doctor took physical therapy off my to do list. Because it does more harm than good. I’ve had two laminectomy ‘s. One fusion L5 S1. I need two more just fused. Right now my sciatic nerve is on fire. They’re also talking spinal cord adapter. I have permanent nerve damage in my left leg because of sciatica and my doctor is taking too long to get the fusion surgery done. Surgery was the last option so I had to go through all the other options before surgery. What can I do that doesn’t hurt so much. My limitations are being taken away from me. I can’t even stand too long to wash dishes. I’m up and I’m in agony and I legit cry the whole time I’m mopping. If I can post my leg spasms I would
