Okie is spot on. I had mine done last year November. Wasn't awake 30 minutes, and I was up walking. No pain meds til you go. Took me over a day... The pain was unbelievable! Doing fine now. Was off for 4 months.
Dang.That looks just like mine, only I have double the number of screws.Ditto on the pain
If God wanted you to walk and carry things on your back, He would not have invented stirrups and pack saddles
