Running/Jogging after Hip/Back Surgury

kskroch

Is anyone who has had either or both lower back surgery or hip surgery - taken up running ?

Long Story/Old motor cycle accident. I've really only been only walking since surgeries - Now finally I'm feeling pretty good and would like to step it up a bit.

2 of my Doctors - my Chiropractor and PCP are ok with and and even encouraging me to add some running/jogging to my walks/workout. To build up some strength and endurance.

My Orthopedic and neuro surgeons say no that I should never run, I risk re-injuring my lower back/S1 joint and it will wear out my hip faster.

Any thoughts?
Thanks, K
