My fusion was in 2006 and my fatigue has gotten better, but I still cannot go longer than 3 hours running errands or just being up and around. I am also looking for an answer to our problem. Doctors haven't been much help.
Could be as simple as the medications causing fatigue. Also, a serious surgery such as low back fusion surgery, your body has to do a certain amount of healing so fatigue is somewhat normal. Worst case scenario is an infection, may want to speak with the doctor to make sure.

I can hardly get by without taking a nap every 3-4 hours
