Starting over again after 4th back surgery.

[CONTRACTOR 47]

Six weeks post 4 level laminectomy. This makes my 4th in 4 years. Third was 6 level L1-S2 fusion. At 65 just can't catch a break. I was on a walker here sitting
leaning on a table for this shot.

I’ve worked with a lot of people who has had multiple back surgeries. I’ve been through it myself. So I know what you are going through. It’s rough! You need to wait 6 months before going back to the gym to ensure the bone fuses together. You must change the way you workout. I’ve learned what to do and what not to do in general. Back trouble is a very individualistic thing and training adjustments must be made that work for you. If I can be of assistance please ask. You don’t want a 5th surgery. Wishing you the best!

Thank you Wonton. It's been an up hill struggle since turning 60. Bodies breaking down every year. 4 back surgeries and a left hip replacement sucks.

Much appreciated headtrainer. My second was L1-S1 and the surgeon didn't install the hardware right to where it came apart and broke screws. Had to get another surgeon
who said he had to rip it all out and re do the whole thing. So had to go threw this nightmare all over again. This last one wasn't fused just bone cut away because
of bone spur compression. T9-T12. i just started to do a little light stuff on machines to get a feel of things so nothing heavy or loose weights. Again appreciate the offer
and helps to know I have someone to go to for questions. Cause I've had many that's for sure.

Hello.
Actually I am 63 and have had my ninth back surgery since 2015 on June the 6th this year.This time only a little hemilaminektomie in L2-3.
Have fusion from S1 to L3.Last has been 2019.
Now I am back again to the Iron bug which hits me in 1981.
