Hello all,
I am about a year and a half post surgery for 2 herniated disc in my lower back. L4 l5 l5 s1.
I have lost about 15 pounds since my surgery and I was wondering if anyone has had success on building muscle after surgery. If so, what kind of work outs do you prefer or have tried? Is anyone going through the same thing I am? Thanks.

It would be helpful if you could see a PT who can evaluate your current strength, surgical history, and fitness goals to help you make a plan for improving strength and preventing pain.
