Exercises with brace

[Lavinia]

Does anyone have any ideas for back and neck strengthening exercises either wearing the brace, or lying down without it but before fusion has progressed far enough to get out of the brace altogether? I had to come off the opiates suddenly when I got a skin reaction, and the my muscles are protesting loudly!

Thanks for any suggestions,

Lavinia

Lavinia...

You should not try ANY back or neck exercises until you've discussed the problem with your surgeon.

Thanks Linda - good reminder, maybe I was getting ahead and impatient,
