Geoff,
About your situation:
-open decompression operation of L4/5
-My condition is severe neurogenic claudication, making it difficult for me to walk or stand up straight.
Was your spinal canal too narrow from bone growth so they opened it up?
Have they done any followup diagnostics to see why your recovery is off track?
I had a surgery that didn't go well. In hindsight my guesses at what I did to cause setbacks were not good thinking. I think no matter what I did or didn't do I was going to hurt. When you're that fragile it could be because things just aren't right, not because of something you did. I doubt therapy could help (just my opinion like everything else I'm writing here). Walking even a little bit and even slowly always helps the body overall.
I hope things improve for you.
