A member asked:
Is it all right to run after having lower lumbar fusion surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Check with surgeon: Its hard to say. It depends on what was done and the extent of the surgery. It also depends on the number of levels fused, and if there are rods and screws in place. Also, how long is this after the surgery. If it is several months and your surgeon has "cleared" you then it is probably ok.
