I am almost 4 months out of an L4-S1 spinal fusion with titanium screws and rods and have just begun physical therapy. Ever since I got out of surgery when I am lying on my back and go to get out of bed I feel alot of heaviness in my lower back and it makes it hard to walk. It only happens if I lay on my back. My doc and therapist say that it is just weak muscles. Is this possible or should I be concered? Also I had alot of nerve damage with bladder control problems and my doc says the bladder problem is from nerve damage and has put me Lyrica 50 mg. twice a day. Can the Lyrica really help my bladder problem? It has already begun to help the nerve pain.
