Exercise regimen post 2nd lumbar disk surgery

[Maria]

Sounds like you are in good shape in terms of fitness/exercise.
I have had two discectomies, L5S1 first which was successful but did rebulge, and L4 which was a failed surgery and rebulged as well. Small bulges but apparently painful as per discogram concordancy for pain.

If it were me in your shoes I'd probably be somewhat careful in building back up to a certain level of activity, however, unless otherwise restricted by pain, recover as much ground as you are able in time, and be careful not to really do stupid things that put an overload on the surgerized discs...

That may be impossible. I know I continue to do things that would be considered *stupid* based on my spinal history tho it just seems "natural" and I do it and then pay~ ouchh... probably why my back is such mess and I'm slated for further surgery!

take care, good luck~
