I just want to see if I understand the regs properly - please correct me if I am reading it wrong. I had a diskectomy just over three months ago and never got better. Recent post-op Myleogram showed same disk reruptured again on both sides so I had a fusion at the L4-L5 level. If I am reading the regs correctly... the compensation is still based on range of motion (pain of motion) and not ankylosis since the entire lumbar section is not fused. Is this correct? Doesn't the fusion automatically limit ROM (two weeks post-op- definately does)? Any back fusion people on the site- how are you doing long- term?
