Is spinal fusion more painful than limb lengthening?

Just curious on the fact that there are various orthopaedic surgeries, surely some would be comparable in pain scale? Curious about the topic

Hi James, I have had a spinal fusion (l5/L4) and 6 weeks later (!), travelled to the other side of the world and had a LL (single leg 5.5 cm internal  rod femur) , then 3 years later had another 8cm (other leg, internal Precice 2.2 femur) - I can definitely say both LL were far more panful (both the first weeks of surgery and the constant leg tension/ knee movemnt restriction, and outright pain of lengthening then the spinal fusion - I was 49 YO at the time of the SF>initial LL.
