Mobility issues

Hi I'm new to this forum.
I had my fusion done back in 08, was out the hospital in two weeks. Back in the hospital a week later, my dumb ass got an infection in the hardware spent I wanna say another week and a half at the hospital with what appeared to b sponges in my back. (I guess it was cleaning out the bacteria.) I was then on antibiotics for 6mths thank god they did not have to.remove my hardware anywas im back to "normal" minimal discomfort. Anyways, I started playing basketball and flag football but noticed my mobility sucks lol kind of like im one of those stick figures. Is there any stretchs that can help with mobility issues? Thanx all god bless

I am a stick figure also

That is a very good description on the mobility issues.

I have scoliosis too. My fusion was in 2009

What helps me the most is spending as much time
In the pool every summer. I always walk around
The pool and sit and move my legs a lot in the water.
It helps a lot. When the summers end, I feel worse.

I am so sorry that you had the extra problems
With the infection

Good luck!
