A member asked:
2months after spine surgery (microdiscectomy l5-s1),started pt and i'm feeling great...can i wear high heels?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
EZ does it: Very high heels could put unwarranted strain on your lower back. Start with a pair with 2-3" heels, wear them for a few days and see how your back reacts.Go back to flats if your back begins to hurt. Gradually increase the height over time, slowing down if you experience discomfort in your back. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!
