I am going to have spine fusion. Will I be able to walk right after surgery?

Some patients need the added support of a walker or cane for a few weeks after back surgery. Even if you don't need this extra support, build up your walking gradually to avoid overdoing it at first. Taking a little extra time and care gives your healing back a chance to recover and can protect you from reinjuring yourself.
