Right Sacral Iliac Joint Fusion

Hello

Has anyone here had a Sacral Iliac Joint Fusion? Mine is scheduled for the Wednesday the 25th of November. It will be outpatient surgery and should take 3-6 months to recover according to everything I've read. Only thing is, will be non weight bearing for 3+ weeks. :-(

But oh well, looking forward to getting back to riding my bike, hiking, kayaking, and hey, even being able to sleep, sit, walk and stand without pain! Woo hoo! May need the other side done too, but the doctor says that sometimes doing one side stabilizes the other.

Look forward to hearing from anyone who has gone through this. Thanks!
