Default 3 week post-op L3-S1 Dr Bertagnoli. New forum??

Hey all! Before I post details, I want to find out if this is indeed the right place to put this. All of the other post-op recovery outcome posts are from 2010 and earlier. It's now 2023 so I am wondering if there's a new forum or something

This is the right forum but I'm seeing recent, within the last couple of years, threads as well as older ones. You might want PM Harrison AKA Rich if you're not seeing everything
