Dear Gabecee...Your experience is helpful to all post surgical spinal patients as a cautionary tale. Your recovery set-back helps highlight the concern regarding doing too much too soon. I heard that advice over and over from others who'd gone before me and erring on the side of under-doing-it seems like the best strategy. Recovery is tough enough without pushing yourself too much! Hope you're back on the recovery trail...

upstatephil,

Thanks for your comments. I've been kicking myself since the incident that set me back. It has made me smarter about thinking before I act. I haven't gotten back to where I was yet but I'm seeing progress. I also will be starting physical therapy again. I also wanted to try something different and found a therapist that uses fascial counterstrain which is supposed to be effective in treating pain. When I have something to report I'll post an update.
