Hello cd... welcome to the forum.

I hope you don't mind... I moved your post to the main forum. 3 weeks out from any spine surgery is not very long. Many of us are tired for many days... weeks... months after surgery... especially after the larger surgeries. I've watched a lot of people go through cervical ADR surgery which is very similar to the fusion you had (if you had anterior approach???). Your description does seem perfectly normal to me. You may be surprised at how fast you can turn the corner and really improve fast. If that doesn't happen, slow recovery patients frequently still have great long-term success and excellent outcomes.

All the best... please keep us posted.

Mark
