one month ago had surgery Tlift, Plift plus 4 pedical screws and two Rods to stablize L4 L5 vertebrae. I am due a dexiscan now since two years prior was the last one; but can delay until I fully recover. I am told; for the bone to properly fuse the L4 L5 can take up to 6 to 9 months for the new bone to fill in and become solid (fused). Does anyone know if I should just wait 6 to 9 months or even longer to make sure dexi scan result isn’t affected by the space in the vertibrae as a result of the surgery?
I previously was on Prolia 5 years and then Reclast infusions two more years and then two years on zero bone drugs to present. (Density scores had improved two years ago out of any issues) I was using a Myodyne LIV vibration plate every day and doing pickle ball three times a week plus’s walking dog up and down hills up until my sciatica pain developed in last March2024. I had P/ T and epidurals since March 2024 and had to stop all activities mentioned; from March; nothing helped for very long. Surgery has been successful
