What is the recovery time from back surgery?
It will take about 4 to 6 weeks for you to reach your expected level of mobility and function (this will depend on the severity of your condition and symptoms before the operation).

Is back surgery painful?
After surgery, pain is no longer achy and arthritic but stems from wound healing, swelling, and inflammation.
