    Work with a physical therapist, preferably at a sports medicine clinic. They will give a customized program based on your situation, and check your form. I wouldn't follow exercises from the web without checking with the PT.

    I couldn't agree more. Given your situation, you would be better off going to a PT for advice instead of asking folks on here, who are not qualified to answer your question. The last thing you want to do is get injured trying to get into shape!

    Definitely find a PT (physical therapist) or ATC (certified athletic trainer)...especially one that works with an athletic population. If you are incapable of going/affording one, try researching the McKenzie Protocol.

    Best advice and if you can get your doctor to prescribe it, you might get part of it covered if you have a good insurance policy/benefit package
