If you haven't called your surgeon yet, you may want to just so they know how your feeling. That being said, fusion is a major surgery that alters your body. It's not uncommon for nerves to be still be agitated 7 weeks post op. But, it's always better to check with your doctor to see what they say.
Keep your head up!!
I agree with EMS guy. Only your surgeon has a unique window into whether what you’re experiencing is normal at this stage. Best to give him a ring IMO.
I hope you’ve talked to your Dr. I called my PA weekly with questions. The most important thing for me is walking. Did you talk to a physical therapist after surgery? I’m 6 weeks post op & still have pain but can control it with meds. I walk 2 miles a day & most days I have to force myself, but I do it.
Talk to your Dr. I feel you should be further along but I’m not a Dr, just another patient. Good luck.
