@walesewicz Gosh, that sounds familiar. After two surgeries which failed miserably, I decided to try something different. It is simple, but needs to be done every day. Lay flat on your back, without a pillow. Start by bringing your knees, one at a time, as far toward your chest as you can. Do as many as are comfortable, then do another group late in the day. After a month or so, just repeat, then lift each leg about six inches and make little circles. Do what is comfortable. Then repeat tomorrow. It will tighten your belly muscles, which are the muscles which support your spine. It may take a few months, so don't hurry it past being comfortable. Oh, and walk if you want, but only as far as is comfortable.
