Lyssie, same happened to me. When i had my T2 thru L2 surgery he was trying to save some motion for me. Then i fractured pretty quickly so a year later i was fused from L2 thru L4. Then more problems and i was just fused and more fractures fixed from L4-l5. I think he is not doing the last one so i get some little bit of motion. I really have to admit, i have not noticed any loss of motion from the lower ones. I guess i was already trying not to move that way do to pain.
I forgot are you in pain management. It kind of helps
