To answer your question about how long before you can drive. I had my fusion on March 6. The first month was rough, but after my 1st checkup the Dr. told me I could start driving. I tried and it really hurt my back and legs. It has now been 8 weeks and I feel 100% better. I am driving and I only take 1 pain pill a day. True there is still days that I can't get out of bed without help, but for the most everything is alot better. I go back the 18th and he will start me on therapy. At 6 weeks my fusion was already starting to produce bone. He has gave me a date to return to work and that is August 1st. Wish you the best! Very Happy
