I had a lumbar laminectomy and extension of lumbar fusion with hardware 7 months. This is the second time for this surgery the first my screws came loose so this time they had to take all the old hardware out and put new in. My recovery was fine but I am having trouble standing straight up. When I saw my doctor who is now retired she ordered me a lumbar belt which I wear but 1/2 way through the day it hurts my back and as usual I start to stoop. Is there anything special I can do to help me walk straight' Thank you for any information you could give me.
