Hi all,
For those of you who don't know, i'm 24 and have kypho. Almost positive i'm having the surgery within the next 6 months.. Even with my strict and healthy diet, i still have to exercize to keep as fit as i can and keep my belly in check, of course doing the best i can considering the pain i'm in. I'm sure most of you have been there.
I'm wondering what were your limitations after your surgery vs. before? Could you run, twist, lift weights, and do physical activities the same or were you limited in any way? I'm taking about after the fusion and recovery was complete. Squats and deadlifts are the best way to keep fit as these work the biggest muscles, but i'm worried that this as well as other physical things would be too much strain on a fusion'd up back and something might break or something from the pressure of exercizing. What about interval training, basic cardio with squats, any low contact sports, anything you can think of. Just trying to get a picture of how it feels and how fragile a fusion with rods is. Hoping i'll be able to still keep in somewhat good shape after the surgery. Thanks for your time!
