Hi- I'm brand new to this forum. I've been trying to research ways to manage my lower back pain. My surgery was in 1992 and I believe I have harrington rods; my spine was fused from T4 to L4. On one hand, it is terribly heartening to find a community like this. On the other, so much of the information here scares me to death!
It sounds like my pain is not nearly as severe as many of you experience. I have, as of late, be experiencing more pronounced lower back pain and hip popping. Does anyone have exercise recommendations? I have been admittedly rather lax on abdominal strengthening and general flexabilty as I have a physically demanding job that keeps me standing/walking a good part of the day and doing a good amount of 20 lbs+ of lifting.
Also, what do you do for pain management?
Many thanks for sharing!
