Our user asked: "IF I HAVE HAD A N LAMINECTOMY AND IT WAS NOT SUCCESSFUL THEN ANOTHER SURGERY THAT INCLUDED STEEL ROD FOR 5L AND LOWER, SHOULD I DO THE EXERCISES KNOWING IT HURTS MY BACK. I HAVE TO TAKE MEDS NOW IN ORDER TO FUNCTION. THANKS"

Ask a PT Response: "What exactly did you have done - a fusion? When were the surgeries? Exercise should be limited initially given the type of surgery and when the surgery was performed."
