i assume that you have been prescribed a brace since you are recovering from a fusion procedure. if so it is unlikley that any type of chair would be very harmful for you as long as you are wearing your brace. some types of furniture that may be helpful to avoid are: ones where your knees have to bend a lot more than 90 degrees for you to get your bottom down to the seat; ones where the cushions are extremely soft causing you to sink down into them; ones that do not have arms that are available to help you get out of the chair; and ones that have a[n] odd angle betwee[n] the seat and the back. recliners in and of themselves are not inappropriate as long as you enter and exit the recliner with the seat in the upright position and you do not recline excessively. it really is primarily an issue of comfort and unfortunately 5 days out from a fusion procedure it is hard to be comfortable in any chair. a lot of that has to do with the surgical pain and dissection of the muscles. this will improve exponentially with time
what type of chair would be most comfortable as i recover from back fusion surgery?
